Instructions

  • Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.

  • Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together the ingredients for the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 425 °F | 220 °C. Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray; set aside.
  • Whisk together eggs, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Add chicken into the egg, rotating to evenly coat each filet in the mixture.
  • Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder together in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken into the breadcrumb mixture to evenly coat.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot and shimmering. Fry chicken until golden and crispy (about 4-5 minutes on each side). Set aside.
  • For the sauce: Heat oil in a medium-sized pot. Fry onion until transparent (about 3 minutes), then add the garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the crushed tomato, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cover with a lid to simmer for about 10 minutes. Taste test and add sugar if needed to balance out any acidity. Season with salt and pepper to taste, as needed.
  • Place chicken on the prepared baking sheet and top each breast with sauce and then mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.
  • For the pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1/2 tablespoon salt to the water and cook the pasta according to the package directions. Then drain well.
  • Bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and melted.
  • Bake the breadstick according to the instructions on the package.
  • Sauce for the pasta: In a small saucepan, pour in olive oil and heat over low heat for 60 seconds. Add in garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for 60 seconds. Remove from heat.
