This is the best healthier chicken parmigiana recipe as it's lower in calories and saturated fat than traditional chicken parmigiana but still full of that amazing cheesy, tomatoey flavour.
1 Butterfly each chicken breast (see tips). Mix breadcrumbs with three-quarters of the parmesan.
2 Dip each breast in egg then in breadcrumb mix. Chill while preparing sauce.
3 Preheat oven to 190°C. To make sauce, spray a pan with oil. Cook onion and mushrooms until softened. Add passata with garlic, sugar and oregano. Simmer for 5-6 minutes.
4 Fry chicken in a non-stick pan for 5 minutes each side, 2 breasts at a time.
5 Pour sauce into a shallow ovenproof dish. Add chicken. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan and cheddar cheese. Cook for 20 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil.
Step 1 Use a sharp knife to cut down the centre of each chicken breast to a depth of three-quarters of the way through.
Step 2 Open the breast up like a book.
Step 3 Cover with plastic wrap.
Step 4 Use a rolling pin to beat and flatten out the breast to about 1cm thickness.
