Chicken Breast with Tomato Sauce

Prepare the Chicken Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Dip each chicken breast into the milk, then coat with the flour mixture. Place the breaded chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the Chicken Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breading is golden and crispy.

Prepare the Tomato Sauce In a saucepan, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and carrot, and cook until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Pour in the diced tomatoes and their juices. Add the sugar, salt, dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, until it thickens slightly.

Serve Place the cooked rice or pasta on a plate. Top with a chicken breast and spoon some tomato sauce over it. Sprinkle grated cheese on top. Serve hot with soy sauce on the side, if desired.
