1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly spray a 9x13 baking dish with baking spray (I use my Misto).
-
2
In a large bag (I use a produce bag), crush the crackers into small pieces and season with the kosher salt.
-
3
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and black pepper.
-
4
Dip the chicken breast halves in one at a time coating both sides and drip any excess egg back into the dish.
-
5
Add the coated chicken into the bag with the crushed crackers and shake to coat, pressing the crackers into the chicken and then place on a large plate.
-
6
Repeat with the remaining chicken until all of the chicken breast halves are coated.
-
7
In a large 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
-
8
Once hot, work in batches, adding 2 of the chicken breast halves at a time, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side.
-
9
Flip when you notice the edges of the chicken are a deep golden and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
-
10
After each batch, remove to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil and then arrange in the prepared 9x13 baking dish.
-
11
Repeat with the remaining chicken.
-
12
Once all of the chicken has been cooked, reduce the heat to medium and wipe the pan out with paper towel so only a trace of oil is left in the pan.
-
13
Squeeze in garlic through a garlic press and cook for a minute or two.
-
14
Slowly add in the tomato sauce and dried basil.
-
15
Simmer for 8 minutes and drop in the butter and stir.
-
16
Pour 1/3 of the sauce over top of the chicken, leaving pieces exposed.
-
17
Evenly sprinkle with the Parmesan and cover with foil.
-
18
Bake for 30 minutes.
-
19
In the meantime, bring a pot of water to boil.
-
20
Season with a generous pinch of kosher salt and add in the spaghetti noodles and cook as directed on the package.
-
21
Drain and add to the remaining marinara, toss and heat on low to keep warm.
-
22
After the 30 minutes, remove top with mozzarella slices and pop the pan back into the oven for 10-15 more minutes more until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
23
Dish out spaghetti into bowls and top with the Parmesan chicken.
