How to Make Breaded Chicken with Bruschetta Pasta
Step One: Prep the chicken
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Butterfly the chicken breasts and place them on a piece of saran wrap. Add another layer of saran wrap on top and pound out the chicken until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Add the chicken to a gallon Ziploc bag and add the coconut milk. Make sure the chicken is covered and set aside.
Step Two: Cook the chicken and spaghetti
Start to boil the water for the spaghetti. Mix together the Italians seasoning, salt and almond flour on a plate. Add 1 Tablespoon of ghee and 1 Tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to the skillet on high heat. Take a piece of chicken and dip it into the breadcrumbs then add it to the skillet once the oil is melted. Do this two more times so you have three chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side then place them on a sheet pan. Repeat this step for the remaining three chicken breasts. Place the chicken in the oven and cook at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Step Three: Make the bruschetta
Add the noodles to the water and follow the directions on the back of the box. While the noodles and chicken are cooking, prepare the bruschetta. Dice the tomatoes, basil and onions and mince the garlic. Add the tomatoes, onions, garlic, basil, salt and extra virgin olive oil to a medium bowl. Gently stir together and set aside. Remove the chicken from the oven and drain the noodles. Serve the chicken and noodles on a plate and top with the fresh bruschetta.
