Ingredients:
1 cup
Extra-Virgin Olive Oil1 small
Onion (chopped)7 cloves
Garlic (minced)1 stalk
Celery (chopped)1 tsp
Oregano (dried)1 cup
All-Purpose Flour3 large
Egg3 cup
Milk2 tsps
Garlic Salt1 cup
Grated Parmesan Cheese1.5 cups
Shredded Mozzarella CheeseDirections:
1
Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat
2
Add the onion and garlic and saute until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes
3
Add the carrot and celery, season with sea salt and pepper and saute until all the vegetables are soft, another 10 minutes
4
Add the tomatoes and oregano and simmer over low heat, uncovered, until the sauce has thickened, about 1 hour
5
Season to taste with more sea salt and pepper
6
Meanwhile, make the chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
7
Set a wire rack on a baking sheet lined with foil
8
Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with kosher salt and pepper
9
Combine the flour and some kosher salt and pepper in a medium baking dish
10
In a second baking dish, whisk the eggs, milk and minced garlic
11
In a third dish, combine the panko and garlic salt
12
Dredge the chicken breasts through the flour mixture, dusting off any excess, then through the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, and then through the panko, making sure to coat the chicken on both sides
13
Set the breaded chicken on the wire rack and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the breading to set
14
Fill a large deep skillet halfway with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F
15
Using tongs, carefully place the breaded chicken in the hot oil, working in batches to avoid crowding the pan
16
Fry, turning once, until light golden on both sides, about 4 minutes
17
Return the chicken to the wire rack
18
Dollop 2 tablespoons sauce over each piece of chicken and sprinkle evenly with the parmesan and mozzarella
19
Transfer to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes
20
Serve with the remaining sauce on the side
