Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Lightly beat one egg in a bowl.

Place 2 oz of dry breadcrumbs in a separate shallow bowl or dish.

Dip the skinless boneless chicken breast into the egg, then into the breadcrumbs.

Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake the chicken for 40 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear when pricked with a fork.

Spread 8 oz of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 7 by 11 inch baking dish.

Place the cooked breaded chicken breasts over the sauce.

Cover the chicken with 4 oz of sauce.

Sprinkle the top with 2 oz of shredded mozzarella and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan.

Pop it back into the oven for another 20 minutes until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is heated through.

Serve the chicken parmesan with your favorite pasta and a green salad.
