Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 200g pasta (your choice)
- 1 cup cooked rice (optional, as a side)
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
- 1 teaspoon rosemary, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup bread crumbs
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, parsley, and rosemary. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- 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.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
- In the same skillet, add the tomato sauce and drained diced tomatoes. Stir and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl. Dip each chicken breast in the egg, then coat with bread crumbs. Return the breaded chicken to the skillet and cook until the bread crumbs are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the tomato sauce and toss to coat. Slice the chicken and serve it on top of the pasta.
- Plate the pasta and chicken, and if you wish, serve with a side of cooked rice. Garnish with additional parsley.
