Cooking Steps
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince garlic. • In a shallow dish, combine panko, half the Parmesan, half the Italian Seasoning (you’ll use the rest of each later), a large drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. • Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain. Keep empty pot handy for step 4.
• While pasta cooks, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; place between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until chicken is about ½ inch thick. Season all over with salt and pepper. TIP: If your cutlets are already ½ inch thick, you can skip the pounding. • Brush chicken all over with sour cream. Working one piece at a time, press chicken into panko mixture to fully coat.
• Heat a 1⁄3-inch layer of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. • Once oil is shimmering and hot enough that a pinch of panko mixture sizzles when added to the pan, add chicken. Cook until crust is golden brown and chicken is cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. (Discard any leftover panko mixture on dish.) TIP: Reduce heat if chicken begins to brown too quickly. • Transfer chicken to a baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, heat a large drizzle of oil in pot used for pasta over medium heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, 1 minute. • Stir in marinara, remaining Italian Seasoning, 1 tsp sugar, ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water, and 2 TBSP butter. (For 4 servings, use 2 tsp sugar, ½ cup reserved pasta cooking water, and 3 TBSP butter.) Season generously with salt and pepper. • Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Reserve ¼ cup sauce (½ cup for 4).
• Stir drained spaghetti into pot with sauce; toss to combine. (TIP: If necessary, add more pasta cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is thoroughly coated in sauce.) Remove pot from heat.
• Heat broiler to high. Spread reserved sauce over chicken, then sprinkle with mozzarella. Broil until cheese has melted, 1-3 minutes. TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning. • Divide spaghetti between plates and top with chicken Parm. Garnish with remaining Parmesan and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Excellent cuts of chicken and just the right size. All ingredients were fresh, and I especially loved your marinara sauce. My only complaint is that I'm not crazy about making chicken parmesan with sour cream. It tasted ok but not what I'm used to. All in all, it was an excellent meal for my money -- the portions are so big that I got 4 dinners out of the 2!
This was the easiest recipe I have followed for Chicken Parm. My family are BIG fans and loved this recipe
Terrific! The chicken was the best chicken parmesan I've had and the marinara sauce was delicious. Good portion size too.
I've tried time and time again to cook chicken parm, and I always mess something up- I over season, or the coating comes off. It came out perfect this time and it was delicious with HF. The sour cream was a game changer.
Delicious and tastes like traditional Chicken Parmesan. This was an easier take on a traditional recipe. It didn't require as much effort and still yielded delicious results.
We loved the noodles, they were thick and delicious. We loved the sauce, it was flavorful and even our daughter who hates marinara had a clean plate, but most of all we loved the chicken and learning new techniques to cook crispy amazing chicken.
I really like chicken parm so I liked the result. Following the stated cooking time on the recipe burnt the crust of the chicken. Also there's no vegetables in this dish apart from the "marinara sauce" if you count that - maybe consider adding a small side salad.
The parm was super tasty, only complaint was that there was only enough breading to cover half of each cutlet. Also the sauce on the noodles was pretty monotone, though it was a lot better the next day (leftovers) so the spices just needed time to develop.
Generally, I'm not a fan of chicken parm but I really liked this one - the chicken is not covered in sauce, only cheese. My husband also didn't use all the italian seasoning.
The garlic marinara makes this dish really tasty! Ordering the tomato sauce you have for sale as an extra!!
