Method
Chicken Preparation
- 1
Prepare Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take the chicken breasts and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- 2
Breading the Chicken
Set up a breading station: place the flour in one shallow dish, beat the eggs in another dish, and put the breadcrumbs in a third dish. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs.
- 3
Fry the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- 4
Add Cheese
Once browned, remove the skillet from heat. Top each chicken breast with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- 5
Bake Chicken
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.

Make the Sauce
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add canned tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes.

Combine Spaghetti and Sauce
Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Toss to combine and add fresh basil. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
