3 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 14 1/2-ounce can tomatoes, drained, diced
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1 cup grated Parmesan

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 300°F. Place chicken between sheets of waxed paper. Flatten to thickness of 1/4 inch using meat mallet or rolling pin. Season with salt. Combine breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon oregano and 1/2 teaspoon basil in shallow bowl. Dip chicken in eggs. Dredge in breadcrumbs.

    Step 3

    Add garlic to same skillet and sauté over medium heat until golden, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce and remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano and 1/2 teaspoon basil.
