Chicken

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese.

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each piece is well coated.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

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

Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary and sauté the shallots and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. For marinara, add marinara sauce to the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes. For white sauce, add cream and simmer until slightly thickened. For vodka cream, add vodka and cream, and simmer until combined and thickened.

  2. 5

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken in the baking dish. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Pasta Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti or fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with olive oil.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Bake the chicken in the oven for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve the chicken parmigiana over the pasta.
