Chicken Parmesan

4 chicken breasts
1 egg slightly beaten
1/3 c bread crumbs
1/3 c parmesan cheese
2 T olive oil or butter (1/2 and 1/2 is best)
1 jar or 1 3/4 c sauce
1/2 c mozzarella cheese

Mix bread crumbs and parmesan cheese together. Dip chicken into egg, then into bread crumbs mixture. Place prepared chicken in a single layer in a small pan and place in freezer for 10 minutes. This will help the crust to stay on better during cooking. Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken on both sides turning only once---takes 10-15 minutes. Pour sauce around chicken and simmer 10 minutes. Sprinkle chicken with mozzarella cheese, cover and simmer 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
