Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese.

Breading

  1. 3

    Coat the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to adhere.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Fry the Chicken

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

  2. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Then, add crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce, then place the fried chicken on top. Spoon more sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  2. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  3. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh chopped basil, and serve hot with pasta or on its own.
