• In a medium saucepan, cook the onion, garlic, and parsley in the oil for approximately 15 minutes. Add stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste for flavor and add more sugar if sauce is too tart.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly pound chicken breasts, between 2 sheets of plastic wrap, with a mallet. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Dip each breast in the egg mixture and then the bread crumbs, coating well with crumbs. Cook the breasts in the hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side.

• Sprinkle with parsley and cheeses, re-cover, and simmer just until cheese melts- about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

• Transfer to a baking sheet and top each breast with some tomato sauce, a few slices of the mozzarella, salt and pepper, and a tablespoon of Parmesan.
• Bake in the oven until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with basil or parsley leaves.
