Step 3

Meanwhile, prehat oven to 180C (fan forced) and line a large baking tray with baking paper.

Step 4

Place a chicken fillet between 2 pieces of greaseproof paper (or plastic wrap) and using flat side of a mallet (or small frypan/skillet also works well) and pound until 1.5cm thick and place on a a plate, and repeat with remaining fillets.

Step 5

Put flour on a plate.

Step 6

Whisk together milk and egg whites in a shallow dish.

Step 7

Place breadcrumbs on a shallow plate.

Coat chicken in flour, then egg mix and finally breadcrumbs and place on lined tray, repeat with other 3 slices of chicken.

Transfer cooked chicken to a shallow ovenproof dish and place a slice of ham on each piece of chicken.

Stir sugar and basil into tomato sauce and spoon over hammed top chicken and top with cheese.

Step 13

So good! We skipped the veggies but otherwise made as directed served over spaghetti. Next time we will serve with the veggies as suggested and maybe add more sauce for the pasta -- but this chicken was wonderful as cooked! Thanks for sharing!

WOW! This was a great hit and the preparation was very simple. I placed raw zucchini (I skipped the peas and carrots) slices around the chicken as I was broiling it and then I added the other ingredients (ham, tomatoes sauce and mozzarella) and finished to cook this great dish. I'm glad I tried this recipe, because we loved this and it was the perfect dish with a great bouquet of smell we needed after a hard working day! Thanks a lot for posting this recipe and suggesting us this preparation!
