Well, the weekend is here once more and today I am sharing a recipe for Chicken Parmigiana, the easy Italian-American chicken bake. You could enjoy it as a weekend dish, a midweek dish or in fact it's tasty any day of the week! Crunchy, cheesy and with an easy tomato sauce, I'm sure you will enjoy it.
Ingredients
(Serves Four)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
400g tin chopped tomatoes
4 chicken breasts
50g/1¾oz dry breadcrumbs (panko breadcrumbs work well)
1 (free-range) egg, beaten
25g/1oz butter
pinch dried chilli flakes
100g/3½oz mozzarella, cut into 5mm/¼in-thick slices
handful fresh basil or oregano leaves
salt
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
400g tin chopped tomatoes
4 chicken breasts
50g/1¾oz dry breadcrumbs (panko breadcrumbs work well)
1 (free-range) egg, beaten
25g/1oz butter
pinch dried chilli flakes
100g/3½oz mozzarella, cut into 5mm/¼in-thick slices
handful fresh basil or oregano leaves
salt
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat and fry the garlic until soft. Add the tomatoes and gently simmer for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Lay the chicken breasts in between two sheets of baking paper and bash with a meat tenderiser or rolling pin, until flattened slightly.
3. Season the breadcrumbs with salt in a shallow bowl or plate. Put the egg in another shallow bowl. Coat the chicken in the egg and then in the breadcrumbs.
4. Heat the remaining oil and the butter in a frying pan over a medium–high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes, or until crisp, turning halfway through.
5. Put half of the tomato sauce in a shallow ovenproof dish. Lay the chicken on top, scatter with the chilli flakes and cover with the remaining sauce. Top with the mozzarella and cover with a lid or foil. Bake for 10 minutes.
6. Uncover the chicken and bake for a further 8–10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the breast, until cooked through. Top with the basil and serve.

A couple of comments have gone through today, so I am hoping this will, too. I want to try this, but without the chili flakes.
This sounds delicious (even though we don't eat much chicken breast anymore). I am tempted to try it.
Jan, we usually prepare chicken breasts here by coating them in egg and breadcrumbs. I happen to have several in the freezer. I'll prepare them with the tomato sauce you suggested. Hugs
A classic that everyone seems to love.
Esta receta creo que me gustaría mucho. Besos.
