Steps:
- In a large saucepan, heat garlic and 2 Tbs. oil over medium-high heat until garlic starts to sizzle. Stir in tomatoes, basil, oregano, sugar, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer; simmer until sauce thickens a bit and flavors meld, 10 to 12 minutes. Cover and keep warm. (Remember, this makes twice the amount of sauce you need, so put aside half for another meal.)
- Put chicken pieces between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound, using your fists or a heavy pan, until the cutlets are about 1/4-inch thick.
- Bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large soup kettle.
- In a pie pan, beat egg until well-blended. In another pie pan, mix bread crumbs and more black pepper. Preheat broiler.
- Working one cutlet at a time, dip both sides of each in beaten egg, then in bread crumbs. Put cutlets on a wire rack set over a cookie sheet (this step helps breading stay put).
- Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch skillet. When oil starts to shimmer, add cutlets and saute until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes total. Wash and dry the wire rack and return to cookie sheet. As the cutlets saute, cook pasta in boiling water according to package directions.
- Transfer cutlets to clean wire rack over cookie sheet. Top each with a portion of the cheeses. Broil cutlets, 4 to 5 inches from heat source, until cheese melts and is spotty brown.
- Drain pasta. Put a cutlet and a portion of pasta on each of 4 plates. Spoon 2 or 3 tablespoons of sauce over part of each cutlet, then sauce the pasta as desired. Serve with extra Parmesan.

Tips:
- For extra crispy chicken tenders, double coat them in the breadcrumb mixture.
- To make the chicken tenders even more flavorful, marinate them in a mixture of buttermilk, garlic, and herbs before breading and frying.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- To make the noodles more flavorful, cook them in a mixture of chicken broth and water instead of just water.
- Add some chopped vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers, to the noodles for a more colorful and nutritious dish.
Conclusion:
Breaded chicken tenders with noodles is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. The chicken tenders are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the noodles are flavorful and filling. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
