Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Mix the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan, and season. Put the egg and flour into separate bowls.
step 2
Butterfly the chicken breasts, cutting all the way through so you have 4 pieces. Cut each piece in two again so you have 8 pieces in total.
step 3
Put the thicker pieces between sheets of baking paper and bash with a rolling pin until a similar thickness to the thin pieces. Dust in the flour, dip in the beaten egg, then coat in the parmesan breadcrumbs.
step 4
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan. Cook the chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes on each side until crisp and golden.
step 5
Lift the chicken onto a baking sheet. Spoon over the tomato sauce, add some basil, then top with the mozzarella and more parmesan. Bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
step 6
Spread the toasted bun bases with the garlic mayo then add some rocket. Top with 2 pieces of chicken each and the bun tops.
