1. Sauce: heat the olive oil in a pot with the onion until soft, then the garlic, then the grated tomatoes with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 40 minutes, turn off and add the basil and oregano.
2. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper, add salt and pepper to the flour, and the parmesan to the breadcrumbs.
3. Dip the chicken in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs, turning carefully and pressing so the crumbs stick.
