Cook time: 20 minutes
Makes: 4-5 Adult portions

Ingredients
4 large, skinless chicken breasts
1 egg, beaten
75g breadcrumbs
75g Parmesan, grated
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
340g tomato passata
200g tin chopped tomatoes
1 tsp dried oregano
75g mozzarella, torn
Method
  1. Using a rolling pin, pound the chicken breasts between sheets of cling film until thin.
  2. Mix the breadcrumbs with 2/3 of the Parmesan in a bowl. Dip the chicken into the egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place them on a plate and refrigerate while you prepare the sauce.
  3. Heat a saucepan over a medium heat. Sauté the garlic in 1 tbsp of olive oil for 1 minute. Add in the tomatoes, passata and oregano. Simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to a frying pan on a high heat. Fry the chicken for 5 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  5. Pour the tomato sauce into a shallow oven-proof dish and place the chicken on top. Top with the mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan. Grill until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbling. 
  6. Serve with pasta or potato and your choice of vegetables. For your baby, blend to the desired consistency.
