Method

  1. 01

    Make the sauce

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano; cook for about 30 seconds. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, salt and sugar. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes.

  2. 02

    Crumb the chicken

    Put the flour, beaten eggs and panko breadcrumbs in three separate dishes. Season the chicken fillets with 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Dip each fillet in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere.

  3. 03

    Fry the chicken

    Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the fillets for about 3–4 minutes per side, in batches if needed, until golden and crisp. Transfer them to a tray suitable for the grill.

  5. 05

    Grill and serve

    Place the tray under a hot grill for 3–5 minutes, until the cheese melts and begins to brown.
