Chicken Parmesan for Two

In a little over 30 minutes, you can have a romantic dinner for two. Add a salad and Italian bread, and wait for sparks to fly.

Serves: 2

Cooking Time: 16 min

Ingredients

• 1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups prepared pasta sauce
• 1 cup (4-ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Preheata oven to 400 degrees F. Combine breadcrumbs, flour, and red pepper in a small bowl, set aside.
    
2. Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Dip each chicken breast in egg whites, and coat again in breadcrumbs mixture.
    
3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add chicken, and cook 3 minutes on each side or until done.
    
4. Place chicken breasts in a single layer in a lightly greased 8-inch square baking dish. Top evenly with pasta sauce and cheese. Bake 10 minutes or until cheeses melt.
