chicken breasts

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: ground chicken

Ground chicken can be more affordable and still flavorful.

Slice the chicken breasts to butterfly them for even thickness.

Place the chicken in plastic wrap and pound it gently to tenderize without breaking it.

Season the chicken with garlic powder, seasoning salt, and black pepper on both sides.

Prepare an egg wash and season the breadcrumbs with oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper.

Heat about 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Dip each chicken breast in the egg wash, then coat with the seasoned breadcrumbs, shaking off excess.

Fry the chicken in the hot oil, ensuring the temperature is not too high to avoid burning the breadcrumbs.

Brown the chicken on both sides, about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, prepare a tomato sauce using diced onions, garlic, tomatoes, and scotch bonnet pepper for spice.

Add scallions to the sauce for extra flavor.
