Ingredients

For the Sauce

2 medium garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon sugar

For the Chicken

3 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp white-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 pieces skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (or deboned thighs)
3/4 cup of bread crumbs
1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
50 g unsalted butter, melted

Method

Step 1

For the sauce, take a large saucepan and place it on medium heat. Add oil and garlic, sauté till the garlic starts to sizzle.

Step 2

Next, add the tomatoes, basil, oregano, sugar, salt and pepper. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens a little and flavors blend in with each other.

Step 3

Now take the chicken pieces and keep it between layers of a plastic wrap. Pound the pieces in such a way that the pieces flatten to even thickness.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper, and coat the chicken pieces evenly.

Step 5

Take one more bowl and mix bread crumbs, grated cheese, pepper, and add butter.

Step 6

After coating the chicken pieces in the mustard mixture, dredge it in the crumb mixture. Make sure the chicken piece gets coated evenly.

Step 7

Press the crumbs gently so that they adhere together and transfer it to a baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
