ITALIAN CHICKEN 
6 eggs, beaten
2 c. Parmesan cheese
1/2 c. fine bread crumbs
4 c. cooked chicken, chopped finely
3 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. green pepper, chopped
1/2 c. onion, chopped
1 tbsp. oil
2 (15 oz.) cans tomato sauce
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 c. water
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. basil
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. black pepper
2 c. Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Mix together eggs, Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. Add chicken and mix well. Shape into about 16 (3/4 inch) patties. Cook patties in large skillet in butter over medium-high heat 2-3 minutes per side or until browned. Drain and arrange in two 10x6x2 inch casserole dishes.

Cook green pepper and onion in hot oil until tender. Remove from heat. Add 1/2 cup water and remaining ingredients except cheese. Spoon sauce over patties; sprinkle in Mozzarella.

Bake one casserole, uncovered, in 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. Can wrap and freeze other casserole. (Bake frozen, covered, in 400 degree oven for 50 minutes; uncover and bake 20 minutes more.)
