Chicken Parmigiana is a pub lunch that you can easily make at home without the cost!
Method
-
Place the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board and cut through length ways so that you have four flat chicken fillets (try to keep them evenly sized if you can).
-
Season the breadcrumbs and add some herbs to taste and place on a dinner plate.
-
In a small bowl combine the egg and milk to make an egg wash.
-
Dip the chicken fillets into the egg wash mix and then into the crumbed mixture so they are evenly coated.
-
Place the crumbed fillets in the fridge for 30 minutes uncovered to 'set' the crumbs (this stops the crumbs from coming off during cooking).
-
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
-
Pan fry the crumbed fillets in a frypan until nice and golden and then place the fillet on a greased oven tray.
-
Top with the tomato mixture and grated cheese.
-
Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
-
Place the tin of tomatoes and onion in a small saucepan.
-
Cook on medium for 30 minutes or until reduced and thick.
