Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 4 chicken breasts Skinless
- 100 g plain flour
- 2 large eggs Beaten
- 120 g breadcrumbs
- 50 g Parmesan Cheese
- salt To taste
- black pepper To taste
- oil For frying
For the Tomato Sauce:
- 400 g tomatoes Chopped
- 2 cloves garlic Minced
- 1 tsp oregano Dried
- 1 tsp basil Dried
- 1 tsp sugar
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/Gas mark 6.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Beat the eggs in a second shallow bowl. In a third shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast in the flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to coat it well.
- Heat the oil for shallow frying in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and set aside.
- In a separate pan, heat up the olive oil and add the minced garlic, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, oregano, basil, sugar, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Place the chicken breasts on top of the sauce, and spoon more sauce over the chicken. Top with grated mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve with spaghetti or your favourite pasta. Enjoy!
