    • 🍗 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6-8 ounces each), halved crosswise
    • 🥚 1 large egg

STEPS

1

Heat oil and garlic in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until garlic sizzles. Stir in tomatoes, basil, oregano, and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until sauce thickens. Reserve half for another use.

2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and keep warm.

3

Pound chicken pieces to 1/4-inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap.

4

Beat egg in a shallow dish. Season bread crumbs with black pepper in another shallow dish.

5

Preheat oven broiler to high. Position rack 4-5 inches from heat source.

6

Coat chicken in egg, then bread crumbs. Arrange breaded cutlets on a wire rack over a cookie sheet.

7

Heat ¼ cup oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry cutlets for about 5 minutes per side until golden.

8

Place cutlets on a clean wire rack. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan. Broil until cheese melts and browns, 2-3 minutes.

9

Portion pasta onto plates, top with a chicken cutlet, and ladle tomato sauce over chicken and pasta. Serve with extra Parmesan at the table.
