Instructions

1. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Set out three bowls: flour, beaten egg, and panko mixed with breadcrumbs. Stir a pinch of salt into each bowl.
2. Coat the chicken in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the egg, and finally press into the panko and breadcrumb mix.
3. Pour 1 to 2 inches of oil into a wide skillet and heat. Fry the chicken a few minutes per side until golden brown and it reaches 165°F inside.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste and sauté another 3 to 4 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes and 1 teaspoon salt and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Set the broiler to high. Put 3/4 cup of the sauce in a small oven-safe pan. Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of mozzarella in an even layer in the centre, then sprinkle with a little Parmesan. Broil 4 to 5 minutes near the top of the oven, until the cheese is deep golden and bubbling.
6. Carefully tilt the hot pan so the sauce and melted cheese slide over the chicken on a plate.
