Ingredients

    1. 1 tablespoon butter
    2. 1 teaspoon minced garlic
    3. 1/3 cup minced onion
    4. 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
    5. 1/2 teaspoon sugar
    6. 1/4 cup heavy cream
    7. salt and pepper to taste
    8. 1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs (for low carb use crushed pork rinds)
    9. 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    10. 1 egg, beaten
    11. 2 tablespoons milk
    12. 3 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    13. 3 tablespoons olive oil
    14. 3/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
    15. 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

    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. 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. 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. 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.
