🌶️ 1 tablespoon paprika
🥚 2 eggs
🌾 1 cup all-purpose flour
🛢️ Oil for frying
🍅 2 cups marinara sauce
🧀 1 cup mozzarella cheese, sliced
🧀 1 cup Italian style cheese blend (mozzarella, romano, provolone, parmesan & asiago)
🌿 Fresh parsley for garnish
🍝 400g spaghetti

Instructions

1- Prepare the Chicken:

• Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl.
• Season thoroughly with garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
• Ensure the chicken is fully coated with the spices for maximum flavor.

2- Breading Process:

• In separate bowls, beat the eggs and place the flour.
• Dip each chicken breast first in the egg, then coat evenly with flour.
• The flour coating should be generous for extra crispiness when fried.

3- Frying the Chicken:

• Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Fry the chicken breasts until they achieve a golden brown color, approximately 5-6 minutes on each side.
• Once fried, place the chicken breasts in a baking pan.

4- Baking with Sauce and Cheese:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Pour marinara sauce generously over each chicken breast.
• Top with sliced mozzarella and sprinkle the Italian style cheese blend.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.

5- Prepare the Spaghetti:

• While the chicken bakes, cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente.
• Drain and set aside.

6- Serving:

• Serve each chicken breast over a bed of spaghetti.
• Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
