How to Make Chicken Cutlet Parmesan With Tomato Sauce
- Prepare the tomato sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves; cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add 28 oz can crushed tomatoes, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 bay leaf, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced by half (about 20-25 minutes).
- While the sauce simmers, prepare the chicken: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a shallow dish, whisk 1 large egg. In another shallow dish, combine 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs and 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each of the 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the egg, then dredge in the bread crumb mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken cutlets for about 5 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
- Arrange the breaded chicken cutlets in a single layer in an oven-safe baking dish.
- Pour the prepared tomato sauce evenly over the chicken.
- Top with 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Meanwhile, cook your spaghetti or rice according to package directions. Toss with 2 tablespoons of butter before serving.
- Serve the Chicken Parmesan immediately over spaghetti or rice, alongside a fresh tossed salad. Enjoy!
