  • 3/4 cup chicken stock
  • 43.5 oz crushed tomatoes

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Chef's Knife

Method
 

  1. Mix flour, salt and pepper on a plate.
  2. Dip chicken breasts in flour mixture until coated on the front and back. Set aside.
  3. Cook linguine as instructed on box.
  4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter on medium heat.
  5. Fry chicken breasts in the oil and butter mixture for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  6. Add garlic and onion powder to the remaining oil and butter mixture. Add chicken stock and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Add the crushed tomatoes and sugar to the skillet. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook on low for 25 to 30 minutes.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, use the oven to keep the chicken crispy.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the cooked Chicken Parmigiana for up to three months. Just ensure it’s well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
  • Pairing: Serve it alongside a crisp Caesar salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
  • Cheese Variations: Feel free to mix cheeses! Mozzarella and provolone work beautifully alongside Parmesan for a delicious combination.
  • Spice It Up: Add crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce if you like a bit of heat.
