- 16 ounce dried spaghetti or pasta of choice
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast pounded 1/2-inch thick
- 1/2 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms sliced thin
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 28-32 ounces diced or crushed tomatoes or prepared tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley or 3 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 teaspoon fresh, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil or 1 teaspoon fresh, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- Parmesan cheese grated
- Fresh Italian parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the pasta and cook and drain according to the package directions.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high and preheat your oven to 150˚F (65˚C).
- In a large, shallow dish, combine flour salt and pepper.
- Dredge the chicken cutlets in the seasoned flour, shake off excess, and place on a clean plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
- Add the olive oil to the skillet. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken, and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Turn the chicken over, and cook 3 minutes more. Remove chicken to baking sheet and place in the preheated oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
- Add the mushrooms and garlic to the drippings in the skillet and cook until tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, Italian parsley, thyme, oregano, basil, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
- Plate the pasta and place the chicken cutlets on top. Ladle the tomato mushroom sauce over the chicken and pasta. Garnish with reserved chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese. Serves 6-8.
