6. Place the tray in the oven and bake the chicken for 20 minutes until golden brown.
7. Carefully remove from oven and spoon over each chicken piece 2-3 tablespoons of the tomato sauce. Add 2 tablespoons grated cheese on top of the tomato sauce on each chicken.
8. Return to the oven and bake for an extra 5-7 minutes.
9. Serve over pasta, potato mash or a previously baked/cooked portobello mushroom or even rice with remaining tomato sauce.

Tips:

For a crispier chicken breast, pound it to an even thickness before breading.
Use a shallow dish for dredging the chicken in the flour mixture to prevent the coating from getting too thick.
Use a combination of grated Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheeses for the best flavor.
Don't overcrowd the baking dish when baking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through before serving.
