I received this recipe several years ago from a family member who swore it was a great romantic meal. She was right. My husband asks me to make this meal every time we have a date night. The quantity of ingredients look intimidating, but don't let them fool you. It's easy and delicious! The whipping cream gives it a creamy texture that you just can't get enough of!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 0.33 cups minced onion
  • 1 , 14.5 ounce
  • 0.5 teaspoons sugar
  • 0.25 cups heavy cream
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 0.33 cups fine dry bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 egg , beaten
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 3 , 5 ounce
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.75 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic and onion, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 2 minutes. Pour in diced tomatoes and sugar. Increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, and continue simmering for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the sauce has simmered, stir in the cream and season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer for an additional 3 minutes. Lower heat and keep sauce warm

  2. 2

    Stir together bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, and dried oregano; set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 2 tablespoons milk until blended. Dip chicken breasts into the egg, then press into breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides, shaking off excess.

  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook on both sides until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), and the bread crumb crust is golden brown, about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    To serve, spoon sauce over chicken and top with Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Let stand a few minutes until the cheese has melted from the heat of the sauce.
