Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 egg
- 2 gloves of garlic (minced)
- ½ cup Panko bread crumbs (I used kadaif)
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder
- Olive oil
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- Parsley
- 2 tbs mozzarella
For the sauce
- 1 small onion
- 1 clove of garlic (minced)
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- 1 tbs ketchup
- Olive oil
- Salt, pepper, cumin, oragano
Preparation
Slice chicken
breasts in half horizontally, so that you have 4 pieces.
Mix egg,
chopped parsley, garlic, salt and pepper.
Marinate chicken
breasts in the mix at least 20 minutes.
In the mean time to
prepare the sauce, put some olive oil in the pan and add chopped onions and
garlic. Cook until brown. Add 1 cup of warm water to the tomato
paste and add it to the pan. If you use tomato puree, you do not need to add
water. Add all the spices and ketchup and simmer until it gets thick.
Combine bread crumbs and
parmesan in a plate. I could not find panko bread crumbs so I have used kadaif
instead. It gave a different flavor.
Coat chicken with bread crumb
mix and shallow fry in a pan until brown.
Put chicken breasts on a
baking tray, spread tomato sauce over them and sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan
cheese. Bake around 20 minutes in 400F preheated oven. You can garnish with parsley or fresh mint. You can also serve it with spaghetti or tagliatelle. Enjoy!
