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.
