Serving for 4 Persons
Ingredients
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup of dried breadcrumbs
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 skinless chicken breasts, halved hOrizontally
Olive oil
6 1/2 oz (200g) of mozzarella cheese, thickly sliced
1 1/2 cups of tomato pasta sauce
Method
1. Pour the beaten egg into a shallow dish. Combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese into another shallow dish and season well with salt and pepper.
2. Dip the chicken breasts into the beaten egg, and then into the breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides.
3. Pre-heat the grill on a high heat. Meanwhile, heat some olive oil in a frying pan on a medium heat and cook the chicken for 5 minutes on each side, until brown. You may need to cook the chicken in two batches, depending on the size of your frying pan.
4. Transfer the cooked chicken to a baking dish and top each piece with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
5. Grill the chicken for 5 minutes until the cheese has melted and has turned golden brown.
6. While the chicken is under the grill heat the tomato pasta sauce in a saucepan or in the microwave. Spoon the sauce onto serving plates and serve the chicken on top of the sauce (2 pieces per person).
