Chicken Preparation

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in beaten eggs, then coat in bread crumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Pomodoro Sauce

  1. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until translucent.

  2. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Season

    Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes until slightly thickened.

  3. 7

    Finish with Basil

    Stir in torn fresh basil leaves and remove from heat.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Dish

    In a baking dish, spread a layer of pomodoro sauce. Place the fried chicken on top and cover with more sauce.

  2. 9

    Add the Cheeses

    Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top.

  3. 10

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  4. 11

    Serve

    Let cool slightly, then serve hot with additional basil if desired.
