Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Bake the Chicken

    Transfer the browned chicken to a baking dish. Top each breast with marinara sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Pasta Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Spaghetti

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt and spaghetti, cooking according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the Pomodoro Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Combine and Serve

    On a plate, serve a portion of spaghetti topped with pomodoro sauce. Place a piece of chicken parmesan on top. Garnish with extra Parmesan if desired.
