Steps:
- Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and puree with an immersion blender, or puree in a regular blender in small batches and return to the pot. You should have about 4 cups sauce.
- Meanwhile, make the chicken: Preheat the oven to 450˚. Put the flour in a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs in a separate shallow dish. Combine the breadcrumbs, parsley and oregano in a third dish. Lay the chicken on a piece of plastic wrap and cover with another piece of plastic. Pound the chicken on both sides with the flat side of a meat mallet or a skillet until 1/4 inch thick. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the eggs, letting the excess drip off, and dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere on both sides. Transfer to a plate.
- Set a wire rack on a baking sheet. Heat about 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Carefully add 2 pieces of chicken and cook, gently moving them around in the pan with tongs, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. (Adjust the heat as needed if the chicken is browning too quickly.) Remove the chicken to the rack to drain. Lightly sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Transfer the chicken to a clean baking sheet and top each piece with 1/2 cup tomato sauce and 2 slices mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melted, bubbling and browned in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain. Warm the remaining tomato sauce (about 2 cups) over low heat. Add the spaghetti and 1/2 cup reserved cooking water; toss, adding more cooking water as needed. Season with salt and pepper.
- Top the chicken with parmesan and basil. Serve with the spaghetti.

This recipe was really good and so easy! You'll impress all your guests if you serve this one. I could not locate the Philly Cream Josee calls for in my grocery store, so I substituted with a sundried tomato & basil spreadable cheese.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line and spray with cooking spray a cooking sheet and set aside. Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally and pound thin to make four cutlets. Toss chicken cutlets in 3 tablespoons of cooking crème and coat well.
- 2. In a shallow dish add bread crumbs and coat each chicken cutlet on both side and place on cooking sheet. Cook in oven for 12 minutes. While chicken cutlets are cooking boil spaghetti according to package instructions drain and reserve a ¼ cup of pasta water.
- 3. Remove cutlets from oven coat top of cutlets with cooking spray and turn cutlets. Top each cutlet with ¼ cup tomato sauce and a ¼ cup of mozzarella return to oven and bake an additional 8 to ten minutes until cheese has melted.

- 5. Pour pasta on a large serving dish arrange cutlets on top of pasta and tip each cutlets with a ¼ cup chopped tomatoes and the chopped basil. Serve immediately. Mangia, mangia!!
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken breasts are evenly cooked, use a meat mallet to pound them to a uniform thickness.
- For a crispy coating, ensure the chicken is well-coated in flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs before frying. Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken to help them adhere.
- Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the chicken parmesan. This will help prevent overcrowding and ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry, resulting in a soggy coating.
- Use a combination of Parmesan and mozzarella cheese for the best flavor and texture. Make sure to use freshly grated cheese for the best results.
- Serve the spaghetti and chicken parmesan immediately after cooking. This will ensure that the chicken is crispy and the pasta is hot and al dente.
