Dip in 2 beaten eggs, then 75g breadcrumbs, mixed with half of the 75g grated parmesan. Set aside on a plate in the fridge while you make the sauce.

Heat grill to High and cook the chicken for 5 mins each side, then remove.
step 5
Pour the tomato sauce into a shallow ovenproof dish and top with the chicken.
step 6
Scatter over torn pieces of half a 125g ball light mozzarella, and the remaining grated parmesan and grill for 3-4 mins until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbling.
step 7
Serve with vegetables or salad and some pasta or potatoes, if you like.
