DIRECTIONS FOR Crispy Chicken Rigatoni Recipe

PREPARATION

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for keeping the chicken warm

COOKING DIRECTIONS-FRIED CHICKEN

1. Season the chicken breast with all-purpose (AP) seasoning and Lemon Bae seasoning.

2. In a shallow dish, place 2 cups of all-purpose flour. In another shallow dish, combine 2 cups of Italian bread crumbs with 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper.

3. In a separate bowl, beat 3 eggs.

4. Coat each chicken breast in the flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.

5. Heat oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Keep the chicken warm in the preheated oven while you prepare the rest of the dish.

COOKING DIRECTIONS-RIGATONI

1. Cook 1 pound of rigatoni according to the package instructions until it's al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.

COOKING DIRECTIONS-SAUCE

1. In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat.

2. Add the diced shallot, minced garlic (or garlic paste), and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. Stir in 10 oz of fresh spinach and cook until it wilts, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add 3 tablespoons of tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

5. Pour in 1 cup of dry white wine and simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the wine reduces by half.

6. Stir in 28 oz of tomato sauce and add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Season the sauce with chicken bouillon powder and Italian seasoning to taste. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

7. Add 3 tablespoons of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce is creamy and well combined.

SERVING

1. Serve the crispy chicken on a bed of cooked rigatoni, and pour the tomato and spinach sauce over the top.

2. Garnish with extra grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
