Chicken Parmigiana Recipe

My tasty chicken parmigiana recipe is easy to make in the oven and tastes great served with pasta or salad. It’s a traditional Italian-American recipe made in a delicious tomato sauce.

1. Preheat the oven to 180c / 350f.
2. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
3. Heat some oil in a saucepan and fry the onion and garlic for 5 minutes.
4. Add the passata, oregano, and crumble in the stock cube. Stir and leave to simmer for 15 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, butterfly the chicken breasts and wrap each breast in clingfilm.
6. Bash the chicken with a rolling pin to make them nice and flat.
7. Add the parmesan and breadcrumbs to a bowl and break the egg into another bowl (and briefly whisk).
8. Slice the chicken breasts so you have 4 pieces, then dip in the egg then the breadcrumb/parmesan mix.
9. Once evenly coated, fry the chicken in a sauté pan for approx. 5 minutes on each side.
10. When the sauce has finished simmering, add a small amount to the bottom of an oven dish.
11. Lay the chicken into the oven dish then cover with the rest of the tomato sauce.
12. Add the mozzarella on top and sprinkle over some more breadcrumbs/parmesan.
13. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
14. When the cheese has started to melt and the topping has started to turn crisp, remove from the oven.
15. Garnish with some freshly chopped basil and enjoy.
