Directions

1. Method
for the sauce:
Spray a saucepan with Frylight or Pam spray, add the onion, garlic and carrot and fry until softened. Add the passata, stock, tomato pasta, balsamic vinegar, oregano and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and cover, simmering for approx 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper. Blend until smooth once finished cooking time.
for the chicken:
Preheat oven to 200c or 400f
Add the beaten eggs to a bowl
Mix the homemade breadcrumbs with the parmesan and black pepper.
Dip the chicken breasts into the egg and then into the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly.
Spray a frying pan with frylight, and cook each side of the chicken until golden. Transfer chicken to an oven proof dish. Top with the sauce and then sprinkle each chicken breast with the mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the oven until mozzarella has melted all over the top and chicken is cooked through.
If on an Extra Easy day serve with cooked spaghetti and a side salad or for a Original day just serve with a side salad.
