Introduction
A classic, comforting dish featuring crispy, golden pan-fried chicken cutlets topped with a rich, flavorful homemade marinara sauce and gooey melted mozzarella cheese, served beautifully over a bed of al dente spaghetti.
Step 1
Make the marinara sauce: Heat a pan over medium heat, add 1 tbsp of butter and 1/2 tbsp of oil, and let the butter melt.
Step 2
Add the diced onion, minced garlic cloves, chopped parsley, and chopped basil to the pan. Saute and stir for 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add 2 cups of crushed tomatoes, 2 cups of tomato sauce, and 1/4 cup of water. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
Season the sauce with 1 1/2 tsp of sugar, 1 1/2 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of black pepper, 1 tsp of oregano, and 1/2 tsp of Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly and bring to a simmer.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the sauce simmer for about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat and bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Adding sugar to the marinara sauce helps neutralize the natural acidity of the canned tomatoes.
Start preparing the chicken and boiling the pasta water about 20 minutes after the marinara sauce begins simmering so everything finishes cooking at the same time.
Pounding the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness ensures they cook evenly and remain tender and juicy.
