Lisa's Chicken Parmesan

Story:
My friend Monica T gave me this recipe; she got it from another friend, Lisa P. They were in a dinner group together and apparently this was a popular dish. I tried it and we think it's pretty great too (and easy!).

Ingredients:
chicken breasts
egg whites
bread crumbs (Italian style)
mozzarella cheese
parmesan cheese
spaghetti sauce (just a can of Hunt's'll do)
pasta (angel hair, spaghetti, whatever you like...)

Directions:
Dip the chicken breasts in egg whites and then roll in the bread crumbs. Coat really well. Pan fry the coated chicken in a little oil; just to brown both sides.

Place browned chicken breasts in a baking dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Then spoon spaghetti sauce generously over each one. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over that. Spoon the remaining sauce around the chicken in the dish.

Bake 40-45 minutes at 350. Serve over pasta.

Note:
I had never bought bread crumbs before; they were in the baking section by the flour and cornmeal... just if you're wondering... just so you don't wander aimlessly around like a lost soul like I did...
