Cook’s Notes
+ If you wish, you can buy a spaghetti sauce that includes vodka – some brands that you can find include Classico, Tonnelli, Rao’s, and Little Italy among others.
* Most “Olive Feta Salad Dressings” found at local markets are a Mediterranean style dressing that is creamy, savory and flavorful. Made with kalamata olives, tangy feta cheese, balsamic and briny capers.
Preheat oven to 350°. In a shallow bowl, combine the first 4 ingredients. Dip chicken in salad dressing, then coat with crumb mixture. Place in a greased 13×9-in. baking dish.
Bake, uncovered, until chicken juices run clear, 40-45 minutes. Drizzle with spaghetti sauces and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, 5-7 minutes.
