Preparation

What You Need

12 oz (375 g) fettuccine or

other long pasta

1/4 cup (60 ml) dry bread crumbs

3 tbsp (45 ml) freshly grated Canadian Parmesan cheese

4 chicken breast cutlets

1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 tsp (10 ml) dried Italian herb seasoning

28 oz (796 ml) 1 can crushed tomatoes

1 tsp (5 ml) sugar

2 tbsp (30 ml) all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups (375 ml) milk

Salt

Pepper, to taste

freshly grated Canadian Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat broiler. Lightly butter 13 x 9-inch (33 x 23 cm) glass baking dish; set aside. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain.

In shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs and Canadian Parmesan cheese. Dip chicken into crumb mixture, one piece at a time, pressing to coat. Place in single layer in prepared baking dish; set aside.

In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook garlic, onion and herbs, stirring for 3 min or until softened. Stir in tomatoes and sugar; bring to boil. Boil, stirring occasionally for 5 min or until slightly thickened. Whisk flour into milk; gradually stir into pan. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, 5 min. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, broil chicken for 5 min or until crust is golden, turning once. Top each piece of chicken with 1/4 cup (50 mL) sauce. Broil for 5 min longer or until chicken is no longer pink inside and sauce is bubbling. Toss remaining sauce with pasta; serve sprinkled with more Canadian Parmesan, if desired.
