Oven Baked Chicken Parmesan

The real recipe:

2 lbs chicken breasts (about 6)
1 packet Shake 'n Bake original
2 cups spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup Parmesan
1 tsp dried oregano leaves

Method:
Coat chicken with coating mix as directed on package. Place in 13x9 pan. Bake at 400 for 20 min or until chicken is baked through. Top each chicken breast with sauce and cheese. Sprinkle with oregano. Bake 5 more minutes until cheese is melted.

What I really do:
I flatten 1 lb of chicken breasts or tenders with a meat mallet, then coat with Italian bread crumbs. Bake 15-20 minutes at 400 or until the chicken is baked through. Top each chicken breast with a spoonful of spaghetti sauce and top with one slice of mozzarella, or whatever cheese I have and bake 5 more minutes.
