Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 & 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1 vegetable oil
  • 1 (24) jar marinara sauce
  • 1 (14) can petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 2-4 tbsp fresh basil
  • large pot of water
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, garlic powder, kosher salt, and pepper.

  • Place chicken slices into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornstarch, kosher salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Dredge each marinated chicken slice in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
  • Dip the floured chicken into the Panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
  • Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
  • Fry breaded chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • In a saucepan, combine marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, kosher salt, oregano, garlic powder, and dried basil. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  • Stir in fresh basil before serving (if using).
  • Cook spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • In a baking dish, spread a layer of the prepared sauce. Place the fried chicken on top.
  • Spoon additional sauce over each piece of chicken, then sprinkle with parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
  • Place the baking dish under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  • Serve the chicken Parmesan over the cooked pasta, with extra sauce if desired.
  • Garnish with additional fresh basil and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese before serving.
