Chicken

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Set up a breading station: Place flour in one plate, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese in a third plate. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked chicken to a baking dish.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and sugar. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 5

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken breasts in the baking dish, ensuring they are well covered.

Final Assembly

  1. 6

    Add Cheese

    Evenly distribute mozzarella cheese over the top of the chicken and sauce.

  2. 7

    Bake

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  3. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve hot.
