Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil divided
28 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
2 medium egg
1 1/2 tsp salt divided
1 cup gluten free breadcrumbs
1 medium yellow onion diced
2 clove garlic cloves minced
15 oz tomato puree use tomato sauce as a replacement
2 tsp Italian herbs
1 tbsp white sugar
1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese diced or shredded
1 cup parmesan cheese shredded
1 basil fresh

Instructions

Prepare a large baking tray with a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside.
Chop chicken breast into fillets, making sure they aren’t very thin. About ½-⅓ inch will be ok. Then, beat the eggs in a medium size bowl, add ½ tsp salt, and place breadcrumbs into another one. Now, coat each chicken fillet with the egg mixture and then toss it with breadcrumbs. Place breaded chicken in the prepared baking tray. Set it aside and preheat the oven to 400F.
Prepare the sauce by placing chopped onion in a medium-sized saucepan with a tbsp of olive oil. Sauté until translucent, then add minced garlic and stir until fragrant. Then add tomato puree, dried Italian herbs, salt, and sugar. Cover with a lid and simmer for 5’. Pro Tip: Longer simmering will result in better flavor as it reduces the acidity provided by tomato puree. So if you have the time, add 1 cup of filtered water and simmer until it has thickened again (about 20’).
Once the oven reaches the desired temperature, bake the breaded chicken on one side for 8’ or until golden brown on the base. Then, flip them over and coat them with the prepared tomato sauce, diced mozzarella, and shredded parmesan. Return it to the oven for another 8’ or until the cheese has gratin.
Serve warm with fresh basil leaves as garnish.

Notes

Tomato puree: it can be replaced with tomato sauce, resulting in a less smooth sauce but a similar taste. You can blend it to achieve the same consistency as with the tomato puree.
To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free bread crumbs.
Store sauce leftovers for future recipes. This is an excellent sauce for a Margherita pizza too!
To reheat this chicken parm, use the oven at 375F for 5-7 minutes.
