Instructions
- Sauce:
- Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add the onions and garlic, sauté until soft. Add the oregano, parsley, ¼ teaspoon salt and red pepper flakes. Saute for another 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes, sugar, basil, and season with salt and pepper according to taste. Simmer on low for 15 to 20 minutes until thickened. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat, cover and set aside.
- Chicken:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Lightly season the chicken with salt.
- In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, oregano, dried parsley, garlic powder and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- In another shallow dish, beat together the eggs and flour until smooth.
- Pat dry chicken with paper towels. Dredge the chicken 1 at a time in the egg mixture on both sides and allowing excess to run off then coat with the parmesan mixture. Press gently to allow bread crumbs to stick. Continue with the remaining chicken breasts.
- Heat a non stick 12 inch pan over medium high heat. Add some olive oil about 2 to 3 tablespoons. Add more olive oil as needed. When the oil is hot cook chicken breasts and fry about 1½ to 2 minutes per side.
- Place chicken on a lightly greased rimmed baking pan and bake 5 to 10 minutes until chicken is fully cooked. Add the sauce and sprinkle mozzarella cheese. Return to oven for few minutes until cheese has melted.Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve
