Easy chicken parmigiana

Step 1

Combine rind, garlic and oregano in a large shallow bowl. Add breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Place flour in a bowl. Whisk egg and milk in a separate shallow bowl. Working with 1 chicken piece at a time, toss in flour. Dip in egg mixture, then press in breadcrumb mixture to coat. Transfer to a plate.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4 to 5 minutes each side or until golden. Transfer to a plate.

Step 3

Heat remaining oil in pan. Add onion. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add extra garlic. Cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. Stir in passata and basil. Season. Bring to a simmer. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Step 4

Preheat grill on medium-high. Spoon half the passata mixture onto a baking tray. Top with chicken. Spoon over remaining passata mixture. Top chicken with mozzarella and parmesan. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden. Stand for 2 minutes. Top with extra basil. Serve with salad leaves.
