Chicken

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Pound Chicken

    Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet.

  2. 2

    Season Chicken

    Season the pounded chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Dredge Chicken

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

  4. 4

    Fry Chicken

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken pieces and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Pomodoro Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Sauté Garlic

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

  2. 6

    Add Tomatoes

    Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, fresh basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pasta Cooking

  1. 7

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt.

  2. 8

    Cook Pasta

    Add the angel hair pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the fried chicken in a baking dish, cover each piece with the pomodoro sauce, and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  2. 10

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  3. 11

    Serve

    Serve the chicken parmesan over a bed of angel hair pasta and garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
