PARMESAN ITALIAN CHICKEN

Category: Chicken

6 eggs, beaten
2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
4 cup finely chopped chicken
3 tbsp butter
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tbsp cooking oil
2 (15 oz) cans tomato sauce
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

Saute green pepper and onion in oil until tender, save half for the sauce. Combine eggs, Parmesan, crumbs, pepper and onions. Stir in chicken and mix well. Shape mixture into 12 or 14 patties.

In large skillet, cook patties in butter 2-3 minutes on each side just until brown. Drain on paper towels. Arrange in two baking dishes.

Mix tomato sauce, reserved green pepper and onion, 1/2 cup water and seasonings. Spoon sauce over patties and sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese. Bake uncovered at 350 for 25 minutes. One casserole may be frozen for later use, before baking. Works great with leftover turkey!
