Heat olive oil in a skillet and fry the chicken until golden brown.

In a separate pot, prepare the red sauce by sautéing onions and garlic, then adding tomatoes, oregano, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, chili powder, and tomato paste.

Simmer the sauce until thickened.

Spread the sauce in a baking dish, place the fried chicken on top, and add mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Serve the chicken with the red sauce over pasta.
