Method

For the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Set up a breading station by placing flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs in three separate shallow dishes. Season the flour with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Coat each chicken breast in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and then coat in bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat until all chicken breasts are breaded.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer to a baking dish.

For the Marinara Sauce

  1. 4

    Sauté Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 5

    Make the Sauce

    Add the canned crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, sugar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 15-20 minutes.

  3. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and set aside.

For Assembly

  1. 7

    Cook the Spaghetti

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Dish

    Pour the marinara sauce over the fried chicken breasts in the baking dish. Top each chicken breast with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.

  3. 9

    Bake

    Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  4. 10

    Serve

    To serve, place a bed of spaghetti on each plate, top with the cheesy chicken, and garnish with fresh basil if desired.
