Marinated Chicken and Cheeses

Do you see this!? This was absolutely, mouth wateringly, praise to the powers that be, good. 


Time to Prep/Cook: 15 min/45 min
Servings: 3-4
Ingredients:

  • 6 chicken tenderloins
  • 1 cup of breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup of flour
  • olive oil
  • 1/8 cup of diced green bell peppers
  • 1/8 cup of diced mushrooms
  • 1 jar of Marinara sauce (I used the 6 cheese kroger brand marinara sauce)
  • 1/2 lb of Mozzarella cheese log
  • 1 tbsp of feta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons of italian herbs


Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees 
  2. In a 9 inch baking dish pour a 1/4 inch thick layer of marinara sauce
  3. Sprinkle feta cheese over layer of marinara and set dish aside till later
  4. Add the flour to 1 small bowl, add the beated egg to 2nd bowl, and add the breadcrumbs to the 3rd bowl
  5. Heat a frying pan with olive oil on medium heat (until the oil sizzles when water is flicked at it)
  6. Sautee the mushrooms and peppers for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms turn a darker color
  7. Dip the tenderloins, one at a time, into the flour, then the egg, and then breadcrumbs
  8. Fry up to 3 breaded tenderloins at a time for at least 8-10 min (or until cooked all the way through)
  9. Once all the tenderloins are cooked place them evenly spaced in the dish with marinara sauce
  10. Spread the sauteed vegetables over the chicken 
  11. Slice the mozzarella cheese in 1/4 inch thick slices and cover the chicken with such slices
  12. Then cover everything with another layer of marinara sauce
  13. Bake for about 15 minutes (or until cheese is melted)
  14. Serve with a side of green vegetables (I used green beans)
  15. SERVE and don't get in the way of the platter because it will be a fight to the death for seconds!!
