Chicken Steaks with Mozzarella

This hearty dish brings the flavours of Italy to your dinner table with its irresistible combination of crispy breaded chicken, rich tomato sauce, and gloriously melted mozzarella. It’s comfort food at its finest – the kind of meal that brings families together around the table and creates lasting food memories.

What makes this recipe particularly successful is the double coating technique with both egg and the parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, which creates an exceptionally crispy exterior that holds up beautifully under the sauce and cheese. The final gratin step melds all the flavours together whilst creating that coveted golden, bubbly cheese topping. Serve with a simple salad and some crusty bread to complete this satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • Chicken steaks
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Free-range egg
  • Salt and pepper
  • Homemade tomato sauce
  • Fresh mozzarella cheese

Method

  1. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
  2. Dip the steaks in beaten egg and then in the breadcrumb mixture. Fry in a non-stick pan with a little olive oil.
  3. When golden brown, remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a baking dish, spread the tomato sauce, arrange the steaks and top each steak with a slice of fresh mozzarella.
  5. Bake in the oven until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
