I am a chicken lover, and tried this one it was awesome, but instead of breast I used boneless thigh. I am looking forward for new chicken recipes that you will post.

I tried this recipe, and we loved it. My husband is pretty picky and he even enjoyed it. His only suggestion was to add some flavor to the chicken itself. So next time I will probably salt and pepper the chicken before dipping in the egg. Also I might add some seasoning to the bread crumbs such at garlic, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

If you have an Aldi near you, try their plain Marinara ~ not very oily, cheap and one of the better jar sauces I’ve tried…second, and if I’m feeling “rich”, Barilla’s Tomato and Basil sauce is not bad, either!

I might try that. I just wanted to use the tomato puree. I’m not even sure why I bought it in the first place-probably for a recipe I meant to try! I am adding this recipe to my weekly menu plan this time. However, I like to use the frozen, boneless, skinless chicken breast tenders from the grocery-I like the size and thickness of them better than chicken breasts. Anyway, if I wanted to freeze this, would I have to bake it first then freeze it, since I’m defrosting the chicken?

Carrie-
I have a big can of tomato puree sitting in my cupboard too! It is different than tomato sauce.
Check out the ingredients:
tomato puree: tomato concentrate (water, tomato paste)
tomato sauce: tomato concentrate (water, tomato paste), salt, onion powder, garlic powder, citric acid, natural flavors, dried bell pepper.

If you want, you could try it and add onion powder & garlic powder to taste. Let us know how it goes!
