1. 1Preheat oven to 350.
2. 2Start with cutting your chicken breasts into halves.
3. 3Season both sides of your chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge each breast in flour. Be sure to coat each side and the edges.
4. 4Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. 5In a small sauce pan, warm your pasta sauce.
6. 6Lightly beat 1 egg in a bowl.
7. 7Put about 1 cup of bread crumbs in another bowl.
8. 8Season with a little garlic powder.
9. 9Take your floured chicken.
10. 10Dip into the egg wash, coating all over, then into the bread crumbs. Bread all four chicken breasts.
11. 11Put the chicken into the skillet.
12. 12Cook for three minutes on each side, or until golden brown on each side.
13. 13Remove the chicken to a baking sheet.
14. 14Finish the chicken in the 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes. {Depending on how thick your chicken breasts, add more or less time.} In a large pot, boil the water needed for your pasta.
15. 15We used angel hair which only takes 3-5 minutes to cook. But if you're using a penne or something denser you'll need more time for the pasta.
16. 16Pull the chicken out and top with mozzarella cheese, put back into the oven to melt the cheese.
17. 17Plate the pasta first, topped with chicken and the cover with sauce. If you're feeling zesty add a little fresh shaved Pecorino-Romano or grated Parmesan cheese!
