Introduction
A classic American-Italian dish featuring crispy, golden breaded chicken breasts topped with rich marinara sauce, melted mozzarella, and savory parmesan cheese. Served alongside spaghetti tossed in a flavorful tomato sauce, this dish delivers the perfect comforting combination of textures and flavors.
Step 1
Chop the onion and crush the garlic cloves.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-6 minutes until slightly golden. Add the crushed garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and oregano to the pan. Simmer the sauce for 5-6 minutes over low-medium heat, then set aside.
Step 4
Cut each chicken breast horizontally into two flat pieces. Place the pieces between plastic wrap and pound them with a mallet until about 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Prepare the breading station: put flour on one plate; beat the eggs with a pinch of salt in a bowl; and mix the breadcrumbs with paprika, pepper, and 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese in a third dish.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Pounding the chicken cutlets to a uniform thickness ensures even cooking and keeps the meat tender and juicy.
Blending canola oil and olive oil for frying provides a high smoke point while infusing the crust with classic olive oil flavor.
Always save a cup of starchy pasta water to emulsify the remaining marinara sauce so it coats the pasta smoothly.
