Chicken Preparation
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Bread the Chicken
Set up a breading station: place flour in one dish, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shake off excess, dip in eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs.
Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Topping
Assemble the Chicken Parmesan
In a baking dish, spread half of the marinara sauce. Place the fried chicken breasts on top, then cover each breast with the remaining marinara sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Pasta
Cook the Spaghetti
In a large pot, bring 4 liters of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Serving
Serve
Plate the spaghetti, top with the chicken parmesan, and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot.
