Method
STEP 1Combine breadcrumbs and parmesan in a large bowl. Coat chicken lightly with flour, dip into egg and then breadcrumb mix, pressing firmly. Refrigerate until required.
STEP 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small saucepan, add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir through garlic, Leggo’s Tomato Paste, tomato and ½ cup of water and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
STEP 3
Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large non stick frypan and cook chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
STEP 4

Tips
To remove the skin from the tomato, using a sharp knife cut a shallow ‘X’ into the bottom of the tomato. Carefully immerse the tomato into boiling water for 10 seconds or until the ‘X’ begins to split. Remove tomato from the water and allow to cool before peeling.
