recipe

  • Step 1
    Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the box.
  • Step 2
    Set up 3 shallow bowls. In one, add the egg, a pinch of salt, pepper and mild chili powder (or paprika). Whisk.
  • Step 3
    Place the flour in the second and the breadcrumbs in the last one.
  • Step 4
    Dredge the chicken into the flour (on both sides), then into the egg and last, the breadcrumbs*. *Check out our tips for this step
  • Step 5
    Optional: For a thicker breading, dip a second time into the egg and then into the breadcrumbs.
  • Step 6
    Drain the pasta and set aside.
  • Step 7
    Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to a pan over medium heat. When the oil starts to sizzle (you can test when it's ready by throwing in a few breadcrumbs), add the chicken. (replenish the oil as you go)
  • Step 8
    Cook until golden brown on one side, and flip. (5-6 minutes on each side). Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
  • Step 9
    Once golden & cooked through, remove the chicken from the pan & set aside on paper towels.
  • Step 10
    Heat the pasta sauce (in the same pot as the pasta). Add the pasta and mix together.
  • Step 11
    Cut the chicken into slices.
  • Step 12
    Serve the chicken with the pasta. Optional: Add some fresh herbs. Enjoy!

😋 Gourmet tip

For a truly flavoursome dish, we suggest seasoning the breading with garlic, 'herbes de Provence', smoked paprika or grated parmesan.
