Instruction manual
1
Peel the onion and grate it to make a large amount of juice. Pour the olive oil into the onion mixture and put in the pan. Fry for about 4-7 minutes, then add crushed garlic.
2
Grind the tomatoes at the same time with a blender or crush them to a uniform consistency with a wooden pestle. Salt, add oregano and sugar. Put in the pan. Simmer for at least 12 minutes. This sauce is the highlight of the dish, as it is prepared according to a traditional Italian recipe.
3
Breast beat on both sides on a cutting board with a culinary hammer. Do not overdo it, as the meat fibers can be torn and the chicken will not be juicy.
4
While the sauce is cooling, you need to prepare a batter for the breasts. Take the eggs, beat in a separate cup with a whisk. Grate different types of cheese on a fine grater and combine with breadcrumbs. Remember to leave some cheese for the last cooking step.
5
Dip each breast first in the egg mixture, and then roll in breadcrumbs and cheese. Quickly spread the breasts in a pan with oil and fry.
6
Pour half of the tomato sauce into a deep heat-resistant form, then lay the breasts. Put the remaining sauce on the meat, sprinkle with basil and put in the oven for baking. At the end of cooking, sprinkle the dish with cheese and leave in the oven.
