Method
- 1
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of baking paper and bash with a rolling pin until about 1cm thick.
- 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a pan and cook the garlic for 30 seconds, then add the tinned tomatoes and simmer for 15 minutes until thickened. Stir in the basil leaves and season well.
- 3
Dust the flattened chicken in the flour, dip in the beaten egg, then coat in the breadcrumbs, pressing to stick.
- 4
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the escalopes for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through with no pink remaining.
- 5
Serve the escalopes with the tomato sauce spooned over or alongside.
