Our Strained Tomatoes do the MOST- meat dishes, egg dishes, pastas, creams, and soups. One of our favorites? The classic Chicken Parmesan and Spaghetti. Covered in a sauce of thick liquid velvet, our Strained Tomatoes give this sauce a richness unlike any other!
-
Cut the 2 chicken breasts in half, lengthwise then use a meat pounder to flatten (1/4-inch thick) and tenderize the meat. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
-
Prepare the dredging station by adding flour to a large rimmed plate, combine the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan on a second plate, and whisk together the egg and milk in a large shallow bowl.
-
Coat both sides of the seasoned chicken in all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess then dip into the egg and milk mixture and lastly coating it with the breadcrumbs and parmesan mixture. Place onto a plate and set aside.
-
Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the spaghetti.
-
Heat a large skillet with high sides on medium-high heat then add 1/2 cup olive oil. Once the oil is hot, gently place the 2 of the coated chicken breasts into the oil and fry on each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown (chicken will not be fully cooked through at this point) then transfer to a baking sheet in a single layer and leaving some space in between each chicken breast.
-
At this point, the pasta water should be at a rolling boil. Season the water with 1/4 cup of salt then drop the spaghetti into the water and set an 8-minute timer.
-
Next, top each chicken breast with a couple of Tablespoons of the Pomì Strained Tomatoes, shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese.
-
Broil until the cheese has melted, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Drain the al-dente spaghetti then add back to the pot with the remaining Pomì Strained Tomatoes. Season with salt, black pepper, dried oregano and red chili flakes. Mix to coat evenly.
-
Transfer the tomato sauce coated spaghetti to a serving platter and top with the chicken parmesan. Sprinkle with more parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
