Crispy Chicken with Pizza Sauce Spaghetti (Trust Recipe)
25 mins prepServes 2
A comforting and flavorful dish featuring crispy pan-fried chicken breast served over spaghetti tossed in a rich, seasoned pizza sauce, topped with melted mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Cut one chicken breast in half and pound it out. Season the chicken with your preferred seasoning mix (e.g., from a blackened chicken pizza recipe). Boil spaghetti according to package instructions, add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and set aside. Whisk one egg in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour and 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, seasoning with salt, pepper, chicken bouillon, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Batter the chicken by dipping it first in the whisked egg (wet) then coating it thoroughly in the flour and breadcrumb mixture (dry). Fry the battered chicken in 350-degree Fahrenheit oil until cooked through. For the sauce, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan. Add half a small diced onion and minced garlic, season with salt and pepper to taste, and sauté until fragrant. Stir in your pizza sauce, adding a tad of water or chicken stock to thin it out if needed. Season with a pinch of red pepper flakes, white pepper, and chicken bouillon. Add the cooked spaghetti back into the sauce along with some fresh basil and toss to combine. Place some of the pizza sauce on the fried chicken, then top with mozzarella cheese. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until the cheese melts. Plate the chicken with the spaghetti and grate some Parmesan Reggiano over the top. Enjoy your 'Trust' creation!
