Ingredients
FOR THE SAUCE:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 dash pepper
- 2 tablespoons dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
FOR THE CHICKEN:
- 3 chicken breasts pounded thin
- 2 eggs beaten
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
- salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 lices provolone or mozzarella cheese cut in half
- 1 pound spaghetti noodles
Instructions
- Heat a little vegetable oil in a large skillet and sauté onion and garlic. When onions are soft and translucent, add the crushed and diced tomatoes. Add basil, oregano, parsley, sugar, salt, and pepper and bring to a good rolling simmer. Add tomato sauce. Reduce heat a little and simmer uncovered for at least an hour, stirring occasionally.
- About 20 minutes prior to serving, put chicken in a Ziplock bag and add beaten egg and garlic. Smash all the air out of the bag, seal tightly, then work the chicken around a little bit so it is covered in egg.
- On a plate or pie pan, combine bread crumbs, parsley, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
- Heat oil on medium heat in another large skillet. Remove chicken from egg mixture and press into the bread crumbs. When covered in bread crumbs, add the chicken to the oil. Brown on each side. Place chicken on a greased cookie sheet and bake in the oven at 375-degrees for about 12 minutes or until no longer pink.
- While the chicken is cooking, cook spaghetti to al dente. Remove chicken from oven, add 2 slices of cheese per chicken breast, then return to the oven for about 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Layer on individual plates: spaghetti, sauce, then chicken.
Notes
- If you would like to use fresh garden tomatoes, you can substitute the diced and crushed tomatoes with 7-8 fresh tomatoes. Peel them and mash them with a potato masher in a medium-sized bowl. Add salt and pepper. Follow the rest of the directions as listed.
