Ingredients

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 shallots, peeled and chopped
2 cans Red Gold® Canned Crushed Tomatoes 15 oz
1 can Red Gold® Canned Crushed Tomatoes 28 oz
2 teaspoons dried oregano
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten to blend
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Step one

In large saucepan heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots; sauté until tender. Add crushed tomatoes, parsley, oregano and crushed red pepper. Simmer until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Mix in basil and season with salt and black pepper.

Step two

Combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in small bowl. Place flour and eggs in separate shallow bowls. Coat the chicken with flour, then eggs, then breadcrumb mixture, patting to adhere.

Step three

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Spoon ¼ cup of sauce over each chicken breast. Sprinkle with cheese. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook until chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Re-warm remaining sauce and serve with chicken. Garnish with fresh basil leaves
