Ingredients

4 cups vegetable oil

Six 6-ounce chicken breasts

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups egg wash (equal parts egg and cream)

2 cups egg wash (equal parts egg and cream) 

1 cup shredded mozzarella

1 1/2 pounds cooked spaghetti

1/4 cup grated Parmesan

3 cups prepared marinara, warmed

Directions

  1. To prepare, preheat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large pan. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 
  2. Prepare the chicken by lightly covering with flour. Tip off any excess flour. Next, dip the floured chicken into the egg wash. Add the chicken to the oil in batches and cook until golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to allow any excess oil to drain. After draining, cover the chicken with equal amounts of mozzarella and bake until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes. 
  3. Meanwhile, add the cooked pasta to a colander and submerge in simmering water to heat, 1 minute. Remove from the water. Allow the heated pasta to drain any excess water, and then portion equally into bowls. Finally, add the cooked chicken atop the pasta. Finish with the warmed marinara and Parmesan. Serve.

Optimistic Elder

I've always had a tendency to overcook my chicken in this dish. I HATE frying, so I pan fried it instead, but just for the minimum time Chef Robert noted (same thing with the pasta, which usually comes out soggy in my dishes. After cutting down the cooking time for both, and simply ladling on some marinara over the cheese (rather than "melting" the cheese first this ended up being the absolute BEST chicken parm I've ever made. My pledge: stop overcooking stuff!
