Chicken Parmesan Bite-Bake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 chicken breasts, boneless skinless, cubed into bite sized pieces
    newman's own marinara sauce (or whichever one you're comfortable with)
    1 (14 ounce) can tomatoes, diced
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1/2 yellow onion, diced
    2 tablespoons butter
    2 tablespoons olive oil, and extra to fry chicken in
    1 pinch dried oregano
    breadcrumbs
    flour
    egg wash (eggs beaten in water or milk)
    mozzarella cheese
    parmesan cheese
    salt and pepper
    angel hair pasta (optional)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut chicken into cubes. Lay out flour, egg wash, and bread crumbs in an assembly line. Season bread crumbs with some Oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken cubes in flour, egg, and bread crumbs respectfully. Coat the bottom of your pan in olive oil and fry until done.
    Saute onion and garlic in the tablespoons of olive oil and butter in a medium sauce pan. Add the jar of sauce. Heat until simmering. Add the can of tomatoes, perhaps some canned or jarred mushrooms, and the oregano. Salt and pepper to taste. Heat through.
    In a cake pan or ramekins or whatever oven safe dish you have handy, layer the chicken, sauce, and cheeses until evenly covered and distributed. Cook in the oven until the cheese is melted and the sauce has thickened (about thirty minutes).
    Enjoy. Serve with pasta, a salad, cottage cheese, or steamed veggies. :).
