Breading Ingredients

Sauce Ingredients

Method

Preparing the Sauce

  1. 1

    Cook the Garlic

    In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic (4 cloves) and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Herbs

    Add 28 oz of canned crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of oregano, and 1 cup of fresh basil to the pan. Stir well and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Preparing the Chicken/Veal

  1. 3

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up three bowls: one with 1 cup of all-purpose flour, one with 2 beaten large eggs, and one with 2 cups of breadcrumbs mixed with 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

  2. 4

    Bread the Chicken/Veal

    Dredge each piece of chicken or veal chop first in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure even coverage.

Cooking the Chicken/Veal

  1. 5

    Fry the Breaded Meat

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken or veal chop and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Parmigiana

    In a baking dish, spread a layer of the prepared tomato sauce, place the fried chicken or veal on top, add another layer of sauce, and top with sliced fresh mozzarella.

Baking and Serving

  1. 7

    Bake the Dish

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the assembled dish for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  2. 8

    Cook the Spaghetti

    While the Parmigiana is baking, cook 8 oz of spaghetti according to package instructions in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  3. 9

    Serve the Dish

    Once baked, let the Parmigiana rest for a few minutes, then serve it hot over a bed of spaghetti, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
