Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and garlic powder in another shallow dish. Dredge each chicken fillet in the mixture to coat evenly.
  3. Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C). Lightly grease an oven tray or baking dish with cooking spray.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Bake 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling and melted and the chicken is cooked through.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
