Chicken Parmesan

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Dredge chicken in flour, dip in eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Cook the Spaghetti

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook spaghetti noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Tomato Cream Sauce

    In the same skillet used for chicken, add crushed tomatoes and heavy cream. Simmer for 5-7 minutes and stir in chopped basil.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, place a bed of spaghetti, top with the tomato cream sauce, and place the fried chicken on top. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken.

  7. 7

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the assembled dish under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve hot, garnished with additional basil if desired.
