Breading the Chicken

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Assemble the Dish
In the last minute of cooking the chicken, place a slice of fresh mozzarella on each breast and cover the skillet to melt the cheese. Serve the crispy chicken topped with pomodoro sauce over a bed of spaghetti. Garnish with fresh basil.
