Method
Tomato Sauce:
-
Fry the onions in a tablespoon olive oil until softened.
-
Add the garlic and cook for one more minute then add remaining ingredients and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
Chicken:
-
Preheat oven 220C/430F.
-
Lightly grease an oven tray with non-stick cooking spray.
-
With a meat mallet pound the thick part of the breast chicken to flatten (this also makes the chicken more tender).
-
Dip the chicken in flour and remove any excess flour.
-
Whisk together the eggs, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Add the chicken into egg mixture and evenly coat from both sides.
-
Mix Breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and garlic powder together in a separate dish. Dip chicken into the breadcrumb mixture to evenly coat from both sides.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat until hot. Fry chicken on both sides until golden and crispy.
-
Place chicken on prepared tray and top with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, chopped basil and a sprinkle of piri seasoning and freshly ground pepper.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and chicken is cooked through.

Enjoy!
