Chicken Parmigiana

This is one of Darren's favourite, he usually orders a parmy when he goes out for a meal. This one is tangy and tasty, I used shop bought chicken schnitzels as I had them in the freezer and decided to use them with this sauce but I will make my own next time 😜

Ingredients

700 g tomato passata sauce

1 onion, finely chopped

100 g mushrooms, sliced

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1/4 Tsp onion powder

1/4 Tsp garlic powder

1/4 Tsp dried oregano

1 1/2 Tsp Worcestershire sauce

1/2 Tsp salt

2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped

1 -2 Tbsp olive oil

4 thick slices mozzarella

40 g grated Parmesan

4 chicken schnitzels
