| 1. DIRECTIONS FOR MARINARA SAUCE: | 2. Empty crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and olive oil into pot. | 3. Slice the cloves of garlic crosswise into halves or thirds and dump them into pot. | 4. Slice shallot and dump into pot. | 5. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to mix well with a large long handled wooden spoon. | 6. Do not strain, as the pulp adds to make this a thick and wonderful sauce. | 7. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring every 10 minutes for about an hour, or until it bubbles and is completely heated throughout. | 8. Reduce heat to a simmer, and continue to simmer, stirring every 10 or 15 minutes to keep from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pot for 1 or 2 hours. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, you can thin it by adding a little red wine or water. | 9. Remove from heat and give it one last stir. | 10. DIRECTIONS FOR CHICKEN: | 11. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. | 12. Follow instructions on the box of Shake and Bake to thoroughly coat the chicken breasts. | 13. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Brown the chicken in oil for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken and drain on paper towels. | 14. In a separate saucepot, simmer the Marinara Sauce until hot, unless it is still hot. | 15. Pour about 2 cups of sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Place the browned chicken breasts on top of the sauce and cover with the remaining 2 cups of sauce. | 16. Sprinkle with the cheese and bake on the middle shelf for 15 minutes, or until the sauce and cheese are bubbling. | 17. Serve hot and sprinkle with parsley if desired. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
