Baked Chicken Parmesan

http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2008/02/end-of-chicken-parmesan-as-you-know-it.html

Made this today and it tasted really good. Bought a Ciabatta loaf from Trader Joe's and grilled it on my new reversible cast iron griddle. Also included a side salad with ranch dressing. Result: Heavenly.

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic, crushed

hot red pepper flakes, to taste

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used 5, but they were huge!)

2 cups marinara sauce (Used Trader Joe's Marinara)

1/4 cup chopped basil

8 oz mozzarella, shredded

4 oz Parmesan, grated

1 (5-oz) package garlic croutons


Procedures:

1. Pound the chicken flat so it cooks evenly
2. Coat casserole pan with olive oil and pepper flakes. add the crushed garlic
3. Layer the chicken on the bottom
4. Place marinara sauce on top to cover the chicken
5. Place some mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top to cover. Use more mozzarella.
6. Cover with croutons
7. Place remaining cheese

Bake for 45-60 minutes on 335.

My Notes: Baked it for 350 for 35 minutes and it didn't seem fully cooked.
