Caters to: 2 gobblers
Challenge Level: Intermediate level
From The Pantry:
- 2 cups olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, crushed/finely chopped
- 1 can of chopped tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 chicken breasts, pounded evenly
- 25 grams plain flour, added in a flat bowl
- 1 egg, beaten
- 100 grams breadcrumbs, added in a flat bowl
- 50 grams mozzarella cheese, grated
- 25 grams parmesan cheese, grated
Cook Away:
- Pre-heat the oven to 200C.
Tomato Sauce:
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan and add garlic. Cook for 2 minutes or until the pungent smell goes away.
- Pour the can of chopped tomatoes and dried oregano in the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
Chicken:
- Coat each piece of chicken in flour, followed by eggs and then breadcrumbs. Shake off excess at every step to get a perfectly coated piece of chicken with breadcrumbs in the end.
- In a shallow pan, heat enough olive oil (about 2 cups) to shallow fry the chicken pieces. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
- Place the chicken in an oven tray and layer with the prepared tomato sauce. Sprinkle grated cheese on top and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese melts.
Serve hot with stringy cheese on top! Delizioso!
