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!!
