Method
Chicken Parmesan
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the boneless chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thickness. This ensures even cooking and tenderness.

Set Up Breading Station
In three shallow dishes, set up your breading station: place the flour in the first dish, whisk the eggs in the second dish, and combine the breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper in the third dish.

Bread the Chicken
Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture to coat well. Repeat for all chicken breasts.

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

Top with Sauce and Cheese
Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast, then sprinkle with mozzarella, Parmesan, and provolone cheeses.

Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken is cooked through.
Spaghetti

Boil Water
In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 tsp of salt to the water.

Cook Spaghetti
Add 12 oz of spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, drain the spaghetti and serve it alongside the chicken parmesan. You can also top the spaghetti with additional marinara sauce if desired.
