I made this dish the other night and it was AMAZING!!! And it didn't take too long to make. Cameron has put it on his top 10 dinners list. :)

Easy Chicken Parmesan

Ingredients:
4 boneless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
seasoned bread crumbs
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
8 slices mozzarella cheese, or more
1 jar (16 oz) spaghetti sauce
Parmesan cheese
Preparation:Whisk together the egg and milk. Dip the chicken breasts in milk and egg mixture and then in bread crumbs. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken in the hot oil on both sides until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Set chicken in a baking dish.
Slice 8 pieces of mozzarella cheese and put two on each chicken breast. Pour 1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce over all. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and a little more mozzarella and bake at 350° for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until bubbly. Serve with spaghetti, garlic bread and a nice green salad.

Instead of spaghetti sauce I used some marinera sauce that Annette had given me. Here's her recipe.

Creamy Italian Tomato Sauce
2 TB olive oil
1 TB butter
1 tsp. dried basil
dash crushed red chili pepper
1 lg onion finely chopped
1 lg clove garlic
dash of salt
3 29 oz. cans tomato sauce
7 oz. Gouda cheese
1 pint heavy cream
In olive oil and butter saute basil, chili pepper, onion, garlic, and salt until onion is tender. Add tomato sauce and cook until flavors combine (at least 20 minute, but the longer the better) Add Gouda cheese and stir until melted. Add heavy cream and remove from heat (cream should not be cooked) Serve over your choice of pasta and top with shredded parmesan cheese.
