Homemade Chicken Parmigiana - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 teaspoon minced garlic
    1/3 cup minced onion
    1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
    1/2 teaspoon sugar
    1/4 cup heavy cream
    salt and pepper to taste
    1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
    2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    1 egg, beaten
    2 tablespoons milk
    3 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    3/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
    1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Preparation
    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.
