Chicken parmigiana with chopped tomatoes
Made with Chopped tomatoes
The Mutti Chopped Tomatoes maintains all the freshness of freshly-harvested tomatoes. It’s a unique product because it is chopped especially finely for an abundance of tomato pieces in every bite and a rich, consistent texture. Mutti Polpa brings together the tomato juice and its most pulpy part, a feature which makes it ideally suited for long cooking times even at high temperatures, like in the oven. Alternatively, it captures the fresh flavour of perfectly ripe tomatoes so well that it can be used straight from the tin in dishes like bruschetta or salsas. It is also ideal for homemade pizza, for recipes with meat, vegetables and legumes and to dress fresh durum wheat pasta or egg pasta

Chicken parmigiana with chopped tomatoes: Method
- Make sauce. Heat olive oil in a small frying pan. Add onion and cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Add herbs, sugar and polpa and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until very thick.
- Meanwhile, line a grill pan with foil. Heat canola oil in a large frying pan over a moderate heat. Shallow fry crumbed chicken in 2 batches, adding more oil if necessary. Transfer to lined grill pan.
- Spread each crumbed fillet with sauce, top with eggplant, then sprinkle with mozzarella and top with Parmesan.
- Heat grill to high. Grill chicken for about 3 minutes or until cheese has melted and started to brown. Serve immediately.
