Print Pin RateServings: 4
Ingredients
Marinara Sauce:
- 1 Onion diced
- 4 Cloves of garlic chopped
- 600 ml Tomato passata
- 2 tsps Oregano
Parmigiana:
- 2 Chicken breasts
- 80 g Plain flour
- 2 Eggs beaten
- 60 g Breadcrumbs
- 120 g Parmesan grated
- ½ Bunch of basil
- 80 g Grated mozzarella
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200℃
- Start by making the marinara sauce, fry the diced onion for a few minutes until it starts to soften.
- Add in the garlic then cook for a further minute, before pouring in the tomato passata and adding the oregano.
- Bring it to a simmer and cook for ten minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice the chicken breasts in half lengthways.
- Get together three bowls, one of flour, one of the eggs and one with the breadcrumbs mixed with half of the parmesan.
- Coat the chicken in the flour, eggs and then breadcrumbs.
- Fry the chicken in a good amount of oil over a medium to high heat until it's crispy and golden on both sides. Pop it onto kitchen paper to get rid of any excess oil.
- Pour two thirds of the marinara sauce into a large roasting dish. Place the chicken on top, then spoon over the remaining sauce over each one.
- Sprinkle the grated mozzarella over each one, followed by a scattering of torn basil leaves. Then add the remaining grated parmesan over the top.
- Bake it for 20 minutes then it's ready to dish up.
- Enjoy!!

Winner, winner chicken parmigiana dinner! Made this tonight and my family gave it a 10/10. Thank you for another fabulous recipe. Keep up the good work.😊
Another winner with my family, tastes great 👍
Is there an alternative way of cooking the chicken other than frying?
You can oven bake it or use an air fryer. I find the best result is shallow frying it but those other 2 methods will still work well.
This is one of my favourites, I like Jon’s recipe’s and he is now my go to guy every time I want to try something new.
