Chicken Parmesan

I think I am finally getting Danny to like Italian food !!
We are leaving tomorrow and was going thru the fridge to clean it out and saw that I had a little of the sauce's I made the other day left. I was gonna throw them away and then got busy. I went to walmart and was passing by the meat department and saw some reduced chicken thighs. Well I sure can't pass that up. I got 4 thighs for 2.23. I came home and was gonna freeze them this afternoon but when I put them in the fridge, I saw the sauce : )
I took the skin off and took the bone out and cut them in half.
I took some AP flour, beat 2 eggs with 2 TBS oil and had some panko break crumbs..I put that in the fancy Paula Deen breading set I bought reduced at walmart years ago for 5.00. I glad I got it, I use it all the time.
I added black pepper and salt to all three of them.

I put the chicken in the flour then the egg then the panko. You can use regular bread crumbs too.

I cooked them over med. heat till browned and cook thru.

I drained them on a cooling rack over paper towel, it helps them stay crispy.

I re-heated the Vodka Tomato Cream Sauce and the Roasted Bell Pepper sauce. You can just use some jar sauce if you don't have these.
Put them on a cookie sheet and top with the sauce.

Top with cheese. The round cheese is Provolone and the square is Mozzarella.

Bake at 500 degrees till the cheese is melted and browned. I would have used the broiler but I realised when I went to put it on..the boiler is at the bottom of the oven..like close to the floor..LOL. We just moved into the house so I never noticed.

I had some roasted garlic bread we got a Rouses when we went to the camp so i put on some butter and toasted it up. I DID NOT EAT IT !!!!! When I went to cut it, I saw a little mold on it and of course my Hubby said it was still good and just trimmed it off !!!!
He joked about me buying reduced meat BUT..the meat is still good....Not like moldy bread...YUK !!
Anyway... Danny loved the food. He saw it on the food channel not that long ago and said he wanted to try it.
I said I guess you like Italian food now ?? He said he likes mine...LOL
