Chicken breast with tomato sauce

Of all the ways to prepare meat with tomato I am still prefer the one that, in practice, my mom cooked;
although partially revised.

A tasty recipe and a disarming simplicity;
inter alia susceptible of many small changes and additions in the ingredients to present it each time with a look and a different taste.

The procedure that I follow, instead of simply presenting a piece of meat boiled in the sauce, involves preparing the sauce, then scalding the slices of meat on both sides and only then complete them with the pizza sauce.

Continuing the cooking cycle only for the time necessary to the meat to absorb the flavor of the seasoning.

Now, from the ingredients to the step by step procedure, it begins!

Ingredients, per person:

Preparation:

Take the chicken breast and flatten it well and evenly with a meat pounder (or get it done, in advance, from the butcher).
Then season it (discreetly) with salt, pepper, a pinch of oregano, white wine (a little) and extra virgin olive oil.

Leave it to marinate while preparing the sauce.

Pour into a pan sufficiently capable (this will then also to cook the meat and complete the preparation) olive oil and a clove of peeled garlic.
Make flavor the oil without ever leaving the tent garlic to darken.

As soon as the oil is flavored to add the chopped tomatoes (if you want you can remove the garlic, I prefer to leave it until the end of cooking: continue to flavor the gravy), The past, the oregano and cook over high heat first and then gently and season with salt and pepper and correcting, with a little sugar, the possible acidity of the tomato.

As soon as it is pretty tasty sauce (do not overcook) pour it into another container ...

... And, without cleaning the pan, add a little olive oil, raise the temperature and color to the meat well on both sides:
if it has been flattened on duty just a little more than one minute per side.

Pour over the pizza sauce and continue cooking, without turning the meat, for a couple of minutes.

Complete sprinkling of parsley and get straight into the dishes without skimping with the sauce:
one that will not be up with the chicken then it will collect the bread:
we are not in France, in short, and scarpetta with this dish it is due.

Buon appetito!
