Instructions
  1. Marinate Chicken: Combine Olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
  2. Prepare Sauce: Heat Olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add Garlic and cook until fragrant. Add San Marzano tomatoes, red wine, tomato paste, oregano, red pepper flakes, and sugar. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 60-90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Combine Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Olive oil in a shallow dish.
