Method

  1. Place the chicken breasts between cling film sheets and bash out with a rolling pin until they are the thickness of a £1 coin. Dip in the egg, then breadcrumbs, mixed with half the Parmesan. Set aside on a plate in the fridge while you make the sauce.
  2. Heat oil and cook garlic for 1 min, then tip in passata, sugar and oregano. Season and simmer for 5-10 mins.
  3. Heat grill to High and cook the chicken for 5 mins each side, then remove. Pour the tomato sauce into a shallow ovenproof dish and top with the chicken. Scatter over the mozzarella and remaining Parmesan and grill for 3-4 mins until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbling. Serve with vegetables or salad and some pasta or potatoes, if you like.

    I really don't understand how people thought it was fiddly or that the prep took a while, it was very simple and quick to make. It tasted gorgeous, I forgot to add any parmesan and used a full mozzarella ball and like another poster said my kids thought it tasted just like pizza. I served it with baby potatoes and green beans, I wasn't sure how the baby potatoes would go with it but they were fab, definitely a keeper!

    Delicious! A really good dish. Served it with courgettes and rustic potatoes (chop up white potatoes into small cubes place on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil and dried mixed herbs then cook for about 25 mins) Will definitely use this recipe again.

    Delicious, served it with spaghetti. I did 3 chicken breasts and a bit more sauce etc aswell as we're very greedy and past experience has taught me that recipes never result in big enough meals for all 4 of us!

    Extremely tasty indeed - and if you're feeling cheeky, add cheddar and more mozzarella =P

    Very good. Made some alterations due to cupboard/fridge contents which all worked well: -Replaced passata with a tin of tomatoes and 2 tbsp tomatoe puree -Used half the amount of parmasan -Replaced mozarella with low fat garlic and herb soft cheese. Will definitely make again - thanks!

    Used a full ball of mozzarella, added an extra clove of garlic. The result was a hit with the whole family . Super quick, super easy and super tasty!

    Added shallots & peppers (all finely chopped) to garlic at the start to make the sauce a hidden veg fest for the picky children! Served with pasta as the sauce is perfect!

    Great, simple recipie. I added sliced chestnut mushrooms to the sauce and fresh basil rather than oregano. Lovely!

    Really tasty, we loved it. The only thing I would change is to add more flavours to the passata (more oregano, more garlic and some basil). It was quite fiddly and took longer than 15min to prep. I would definitely make it again, on the weekend when I've got a bit more time.
