  • 8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, pounded to uniform thinness
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 Tbl. butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3/4 cup wine (white or red)

  • 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Combine flour with salt and pepper to taste on a large plate. Sprinkle chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper, then dredge them in seasoned flour. Set aside.

Heat oil and butter in a skillet on medium high heat. Fry chicken until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from skillet; keep warm. Add garlic and onion to pan. Cook for 2 minutes.

Pour in wine and scrape skillet, getting flavorful bits off bottom. Cook for 3 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half.

Stir in tomatoes, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to low and cook 30 minutes. Add 1/8 cup parsley and 1/2 cup Parmesan.

Arrange chicken on top of sauce; sprinkle remaining cheese over top. Cover skillet and simmer until cheese melts and chicken is hot. Sprinkle with 1/8 cup parsley. Put pasta on plates; top with chicken, sauce, and parsley.
