4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce

1.4 lb thinly sliced mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350. Combine bread crumbs and parmesan cheese in 2 tbsp oil in a large frying pan. Dip chicken pieces in beaten egg and then in bread crumb mixture. Cook on both sides about 5-7 minutes and then place in a baking dish.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat remaining tbsp oil and saute onion until tender. Stir in tomato sauce and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Pour 3/4 of sauce over top of chicken and top with cheese. Pour remaining sauce over all and bake, uncovered for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked and cheese is melted.
