"CHICKEN MILANO"

6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup butter
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Roll each chicken breast in flour; dip in beaten egg.  Roll in bread crumbs to coat well.

Heat butter in large skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken pieces.  Cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.

Mix marinara sauce and half-and-half in a small bowl, reserving 2 tablespoons.  Pour into baking dish.  Arrange chicken in prepared dish.

Mix mozzarella, Swiss and parmesan cheeses in a small bowl.  Sprinkle over chicken.  Top with reserved sauce.  Bake, loosely covered, until cooked through, about 30 minutes.  YIELD:  6 servings

**I think the chicken is better if you pound it to an even thickness.  It browns more quickly and baking time will be reduced to about 20 minutes.
