Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Dredge the Chicken

    Set up a dredging station: Place flour in one plate, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan in a third. Dip each chicken breast in flour, then egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

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

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Spoon tomato sauce over each chicken breast. Top with mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Cook the Spaghetti

    While the chicken is baking, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and toss with olive oil and fresh basil.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the spaghetti and top with the chicken Parmesan. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
