Ingredients
Method
Step 1
Slice the mozzarella and dress it with oil, salt, pepper, oregano and a pinch of dried chili. Put aside.
Step 2
In a dish, mix breadcrumbs, grated Parmigiano Reggiano and lemon zest. Shell the eggs, put them in another dish and beat with a fork. Dip the chicken breast slices first in the beaten egg, then in the breadcrumbs to coat them evenly.
Step 3
Heat up the oil in a low, oven proof casserole and cook the breaded chicken slices. Flip once or twice to ensure they are golden on both sides.
Step 4
Remove the chicken and sautée a clove of garlic sliced in half in the same casserole. Remove the garlic and add tomato purée, oregano and a bit of basil; cover with the lid and cook over medium heat until the sauce has thickened.
Step 5
Place the chicken slices on the sauce, top each slice with mozzarella and put in the oven at 180° for 8-10 minutes or anyway until the mozzarella cheese has melted.
Step 6
Take the Chicken Parmesan out of the oven and serve immediately sprinkling with additional basil and oregano to taste.
