Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Dredging Process

    Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant, then add the canned crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Fresh Basil

    Stir in the chopped fresh basil and remove from heat.

Pasta Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Pasta

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

Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Assemble the Dish

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

  2. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve the chicken parmigiana over spaghetti, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
