Chicken

Marinara Sauce

Spaghetti

Garlic Bread

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Breading Process

    Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and place on a paper towel-lined plate.

Marinara Sauce

  1. 4

    Sauté Garlic

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

  2. 5

    Cook Sauce

    Add the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir well and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Spaghetti Cooking

  1. 6

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt.

  2. 7

    Cook Spaghetti

    Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Garlic Bread Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare Garlic Butter

    In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley until well combined.

  2. 9

    Spread on Bread

    Slice the French bread in half lengthwise and spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on both halves.

  3. 10

    Toast the Bread

    Place the bread under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Assembly

  1. 11

    Assemble Dish

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the fried chicken breasts in a baking dish, top each with marinara sauce, and sprinkle provolone cheese on top. Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  2. 12

    Serve

    Serve the chicken parmesan over a bed of spaghetti with a side of garlic bread.
