Italian: Chicken Parm

Instructions:

1. Before beginning the preparation of the main dish, start by making the homemade Red Sauce as outlined in the "Sauces" section of the recipes. This sauce requires several hours of simmering to develop its full flavor, so it's highly recommended to initiate this step first. Preparing the sauce in advance ensures it has ample time to simmer and enhance its taste, which will significantly contribute to the overall quality of the final dish.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and water to create an egg wash.

   • Mixing water with eggs for the egg wash makes the batter stick better.

3. Slice the chicken into thin pieces (if not already thin). For each serving of chicken, marinate it in a blend of paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Adjust the quantity of seasoning based on the number of chicken servings.

4. Bread the chicken: #1 Coat the slices in flour. #2 Dip them into the egg wash. #3 Finally, coat them with panko bread crumbs.

5. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta until al dente, then strain and rinse with cool water.

6. Fry the breaded chicken in grape seed oil. For chicken, fry until it reaches an internal temperature of 178 degrees Fahrenheit (81 degrees Celsius) for optimal texture.

7. Assemble your dish by first tossing the cooked angel hair pasta with the homemade Red Sauce, making sure it's evenly coated. Place the sauced pasta on a plate, then top it with your choice of fried entree. Drizzle a little extra red sauce over the fried entree for added flavor. Finally, sprinkle generous amounts of parmesan and mozzarella cheese on top.
