Chicken Parmesan

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
Tomato sauce, 26 oz
Parmesan or mozzarella cheese*
1 egg
1 Cup or more unseasoned Wheat-Free bread crumbs (OR if you're Gluten-Free, make bread crumbs using your favorite GF bread.  White or brown rice flours also work well for coating.)
Several Tbls. olive oil

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, also heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
2. Thoroughly coat each piece of chicken with egg and then bread crumbs.
3. Brown chicken on both sides (you might need to add more oil to the pan to keep the pieces from sticking.)
4. Coat the bottom of a high sided baking dish with sauce.
5. Place the chicken in a single layer over the sauce, place a slice of cheese on each piece of chicken, top each with a fresh basil leaf.
6. Continue layering, sauce, chicken, cheese, basil.
7. Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 20-30 minutes.
Serve over your favorite pasta with fresh crusty bread and grated parmesan on top!  (If you're Gluten-Free, serve with rice or quinoa pasta and your favorite GF bread.)
Serves 4
* If you are dairy-free, the cheese can be left out without changing the flavor very much
