Instructions

Crumb the Chicken
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the spaghetti.

Sandwich each chicken breast between two pieces of baking paper. Pop onto a board, then give it a bash with the bottom of a saucepan or a rolling pin until it’s 1-2 cm thick.

Crack the egg (see pantry for amount) into a medium bowl and whisk. Put the panko breadcrumbs into another bowl, then season with the salt for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for amount) and pepper. 

Season the chicken, then dip it into the egg and then the breadcrumbs, ensuring it's completely coated. Transfer to a clean plate. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging and discard any excess egg.

Time to Fry
2

Pop a large frying pan on high heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. TIP: You want the oil to be hot so the chicken fries properly - heat for 2-3 mins before you add the chicken.

Once hot, carefully lay the chicken into the pan, and fry until golden-brown, 2-3 mins on each side. Adjust the heat if necessary. 

Transfer the chicken to a baking tray and bake on the middle shelf until cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Once cooked, remove from oven and set aside.

Spaghetti Time
3

When your pan of water is boiling, add the spaghetti and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 8 mins.

Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Sauce Things Up
4

Wipe out the (now empty) frying pan and pop on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Once hot, add the garlic and fry for 30 secs. 

Add the chopped tomatoes, chicken stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Simmer until thickened, 8-10 mins. 

Cheese Please
5

Once the sauce has thickened, gently stir through half the parmesan, then remove from the heat.

Spoon a third of the tomato sauce overe the crispy chicken. Top with the remaining parmesan. 

Bake on the top shelf of the oven until the cheese is bubbling and golden, 4-5 mins.

Once cooked, add the spaghetti to the remaining tomato sauce. Add a splash of water if it's a little thick.

Finish and Serve
6

Share the spaghetti between your bowls and top with the chicken parmigiana. Drizzle over the pesto to finish.

Serve the rocket salad alongside finished with a drizzle of the balsamic glaze.

Enjoy!
