Method

Cooking the pasta

  1. 1

    Boil the rigatoni

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rigatoni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Preparing the chicken

  1. 2

    Prepare the chicken

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Dredge each breast in flour, dip into beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs.

  2. 3

    Cook the chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.

Assembling the dish

  1. 4

    Combine and bake

    Spread the braised tomato sauce over the chicken breasts. Top with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Serve the chicken parmesan over the cooked rigatoni, garnished with extra parmesan if desired.
