Method
Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare Chicken Breasts
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch for uniform cooking.
- 2
Bread the Chicken
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Sauce Preparation
- 4
Prepare the Sauce
In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the Pomodorina sauce and simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Add fresh basil leaves at the end and stir to combine.
Assembly and Cooking

Assemble Chicken Parmesan

Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
