I received this recipe several years ago from a family member who swore it was a great romantic meal. She was right. My husband asks me to make this meal every time we have a date night. The quantity of ingredients look intimidating, but don't let them fool you. It's easy and delicious! The whipping cream gives it a creamy texture that you just can't get enough of!

👨‍🍳 Instructions

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 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.

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.

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.
