Yield
4 servings


Ingredients
12 oz fettuccine or other long pasta 375 g
2 tsp dried Italian herb seasoning 10 mL
¼ cup dry bread crumbs 50 mL
1-28 oz can crushed tomatoes 796 mL
3 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese 45 mL
1 tsp granulated sugar 5 mL
4 chicken breast cutlets 4
2 Tbsp flour 30 mL
1 Tbsp olive oil 15 mL
1 ½  cups milk 375 mL
2 cloves garlic, minced 2
salt and pepper
1 medium onion, finely chopped 1
freshly grated Parmesan cheese


Directions
Preheat broiler. Lightly grease 13 x 9–inch (3.5 L) glass baking dish; set aside. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain. In shallow dish, combine bread crumbs and 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 ¼ 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 Parmesan, if desired.
