Recipes Dream: Easy Chicken Parmesan

This is a lightened-up, quick and simple recipe for chicken parmesan. If you don't have time to prepare the homemade marinara recipe (*see last post), substitute your favorite jar of sauce. Traditional chicken parmesan uses egg and breadcrumbs. I prefer this lighter variation. You still get all the flavor, without as much breading. Enjoy~

Easy Chicken Parmesan

Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless organic chicken breasts
1/2 cup white whole wheat flour (or spelt flour)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cups "Best Marinara Sauce" (*see previous post for recipe)
1/2 cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a shallow dish, mix flour, sea salt, garlic powder and pepper. Dredge chicken breasts in flour mixture and shake off excess. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute chicken breasts until lightly golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes.
