Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken breast in the breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to adhere.

2

Cook the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat the 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 from the skillet and set aside.

3

Cook the Paccheri Pasta

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the paccheri pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

4

Combine Pasta and Sauce

In the same pot, add the arrabbiata sauce and cooked paccheri pasta. Toss to combine and heat through.

5

Assemble the Dish

In a large serving dish, layer the sauced paccheri pasta. Top with the cooked chicken breasts, dollop the whipped ricotta over the chicken, and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves.

6

Drizzle with Saba

Finish by drizzling the saba over the top and serve immediately.
