Ingredients
- 1 Egg
- All Purpose Flour
- Chicken thighs or breast
- Fresh Basil
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Oregano
- Panko breadcrumbs
- Pasta Sauce
- Pepper
- Salt
- Spaghetti
Instructions
- Start by prepping your chicken, I used skinless chicken thighs. Flatten chicken with a mallet to make sure it cooks evenly and crispy. Pat chicken dry.
- Prepare 3 bowls or plates. The first bowl put around 1/2 cup or 1 cup of flour. Mix in some salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano into the flour. The second bowl will have one beaten egg. The third bowl will have around 1 cup of breadcrumbs in it. Make sure to season the breadcrumbs as well, I added salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano.
- Get a separate plate to put your chicken cutlets on. First press the first piece of chicken into the flour mixture on both sides, and shake off any excess. Then put dip it in the beaten egg, and then into the breadcrumbs bowl. Make sure that you pack down the breadcrumbs onto the chicken. Repeat to the rest of the pieces of chicken and set aside.
- Boil water and prepare your pasta, I went with classic spaghetti. In a separate pot, put the pasta sauce and begin to simmer it with some fresh basil.
- Grab a pan and heat olive oil on medium heat. You will know it’s ready when you splash some water on it and it sizzles. Add the breaded chicken one by one and brown for 3-4 mins on each side. Set cooked chicken aside on a oven safe tray. Set your oven to broil.
- Place a spoonful of the tomato sauce on top of the chicken, followed by the slice of mozzarella cheese. Place into oven to broil until the cheese begins to melt and brown. Then, remove chicken from oven.
- Lastly, mix the spaghetti and sauce together in the sauce pan.
- Plate pasta with Chicken Parmesan and add fresh basil on the top! 🍝
