Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ cup olive oil (for frying)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (28-ounce) can of crushed San Marzano tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (if needed)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat ½ cup of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Mix in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir in oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 20 minutes until thickened, then stir in fresh basil.
  5. Pound the chicken breasts between plastic wrap until about ½-inch thick and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Set up a dredging station with flour, whisked eggs mixed with water, and a mix of breadcrumbs, Parmesan, oregano, and garlic powder.
  7. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into egg mixture, and coat with breadcrumb mixture.
  8. Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy; drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  9. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  10. Spread a layer of tomato sauce in a baking dish, place chicken on top, add more sauce and finish with mozzarella cheese.
  11. Bake for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan and fresh basil before serving.
