Chicken

Method

Prepare Chicken

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on both sides of the chicken breasts.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble Chicken Parmesan

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 6

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    In a baking dish, place the fried chicken breasts. Spoon marinara sauce over each piece and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.

  3. 7

    Bake

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

Cook Spaghetti

  1. 8

    Boil Water

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

  2. 9

    Cook Spaghetti

    Add spaghetti to boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Serve

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, serve a portion of spaghetti alongside a piece of chicken parmesan. Garnish with extra marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese if desired.
