Ingredients

Chicken Milanese

Herb Pasta

House-made Marinara

Topping

Preparation

Chicken Milanese

1. Prepare Chicken

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

2. Set Up Breading Station

Set up three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour and season with salt and pepper. In the second dish, beat the eggs. In the third dish, combine the breadcrumbs and Romano cheese.

3. Bread Chicken

Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat with breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

4. Fry Chicken

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Herb Pasta

5. Cook Pasta

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve 1 cup of pasta water.

6. Mix with Herbs

In the same pot, add olive oil, garlic, and the reserved pasta water. Stir in the cooked pasta, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine until well coated.

House-made Marinara

7. Cook Marinara

In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until thickened. Stir in fresh basil before serving.

Assembly

8. Assemble the Dish

On each plate, place a serving of herb pasta. Top with a piece of fried chicken, then layer with fresh mozzarella slices. Drizzle with marinara sauce and garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
