Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 slices of Italian bread
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 lb. pack of whole wheat spaghetti pasta
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp. dried parsley
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp. becel margarine
  • 1 tsp. garlic puree
  • Grated parmesan to top

Instructions

  • 1.Prep the ingredients by first placing the chicken breasts between two sheets of cling wrap and pounding them with a mallet (or back of a large pot spoon) until it’s almost twice the size. Boil the pasta according to package directions. In a bowl, make garlic butter by mixing 2 tbsp. of becel margarine with 1 tsp. of garlic puree and set aside.
  • 2.In a shallow bowl, mix together garlic powder, flour, bread crumbs, dried parsley, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • 3.In another shallow bowl, mix together egg and milk. Set aside.
  • 4.Douse the pounded chicken first into the egg wash, and then into the breaded mixture. Lay the chicken on a plate.
  • 5.To fry chicken, heat cooking oil (enough to cover base of pan with an inch in depth) on a saucepan, on medium heat, fry the chicken breasts for 5 minutes on both sides or until golden brown. (For a healthier option, bake the chicken on parchment paper lined baking sheet, in an oven set at 350 degrees F, for 10-15 minutes, turning midway, until golden brown.)
  • 6.Make garlic toast by spreading the garlic-margarine mix on sliced Italian bread, then finish on a George foreman grill or on a skillet.
  • 7.Serve spaghetti with chicken on top, covered with a bit of tomato sauce, sprinkled with parmesan cheese and served with garlic toast.
