This dish is made with juicy chicken breasts that are coated in a crispy Parmesan crust and then smothered in a rich tomato sauce. The combination of the crispy chicken and the tangy tomato sauce is simply irresistible.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Dip each chicken breast into the mixture, making sure to coat both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, sugar, salt, and pepper, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the tomato sauce over them. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
