- Garlic5 tsp
- Parsley2 tbsp
- Salt¼ tsp
- Black pepper¼ tsp
- Onion powder1 tsp
- Chicken breast3
- Breadcrumb1 ½ cups
- Parmesan cheese0.83 cups
- Garlic powder1 tsp
- Olive oil9 tbsp
- Onion1
- Tomato14 oz
- Italian seasoning · dried1 tsp
- Sugar1 tsp
- Mozzarella cheese8 oz
- Basil2 tbsp
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs, minced garlic, parsley, salt, pepper and onion powder in a shallow dish. Add the chicken fillets and turn them to coat evenly. Cover and marinate at least 15 minutes, or overnight for more flavour.
- Mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and garlic powder in another shallow dish. Dredge each chicken fillet in the mixture to coat evenly.
- Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C). Lightly grease an oven tray or baking dish with cooking spray.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
- Place the chicken on the prepared tray. Top each breast with about 1/3 cup sauce, 2-3 slices of mozzarella and about 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Sprinkle with basil or parsley.
- Bake 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and melted and the chicken is cooked through.
- For the sauce, heat the oil in a medium pot. Fry the onion until translucent, about 3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the tomato puree, salt, pepper, Italian herbs and sugar if using. Cover and simmer about 8 minutes, until slightly thickened. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
