Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 150g pasta (your choice)
- 1 cup cooked rice (optional side)
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons mayo
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup bread crumbs
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, parsley, and rosemary. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Cook the Pasta: While the chicken is marinating, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. If desired, add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Coat the Chicken: In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, place the bread crumbs. Dip each chicken breast in the egg, then coat with bread crumbs. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Toss to combine and heat through for another 2 minutes.
- Serve: Slice the chicken breasts and place them on top of the pasta. Garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve with a side of rice if you like.
