- 2 jars Spaghetti Sauce

- 1 cup Flour
- 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper

Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water 3/4 the way and then turn it on high to boil the pasta.
- In a large skillet pour 1 inch of oil to fry the chicken and then turn it on medium.
- Place a large piece of plastic wrap on a cutting board.
- Put one piece of boneless chicken thigh or breast and then fold the plastic wrap over the top to cut down on splatters.
- Using a meat tenderizer, hammer each piece of chicken till 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, then set aside.
- Pour 1 cup dressing into a dish and dip each piece of chicken into before the dry mixture.
- Measure 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper into a second dish, then mix with a fork.
- Dip the dressing covered chicken one at a time into the flour mixture and immediately place into hot oil.
- Only put 1-2 chickens into the hot oil at a time, as this helps to make sure the hot oil stays at a consistent temperature.
- Flip when the edges of the chicken are browned, around 2-5 minutes each side depending on your heat temp.
- Remove fried chicken and then place into a baking dish.
- When all are cooked place the baking dish into a 350-degree oven and finish cooking for 10 more minutes.
- When the water is boiling, cook the pasta per the package's directions.
- When done, drain in a sink colander and replace the pasta back into the pan.
- Pour spaghetti sauce into a pan and then heat on medium to warm.
- When chicken juices are running clear and you cut a piece and see no red, remove the pan from the oven.
- Plate pasta with the sauce on top and a piece of Italian Parmesan Chicken.
- We served our dinner with sweet peas that were steamed and a side salad, then garnish the top with shredded parmesan and enjoy!
