Trying this out for the first time. Anyone have any favorite or special way they like this dish? Any modifications to make it better? Side dishes to go with it?

If you like sweet red sauce go buy a jar of mounjunies. Make sure its the fat bottle, not the tall skinny one. Put chicken one at a time in zip lock bag. pound chicken to make thin. try to make all the chicken breast the same. coat chicken with a little oil and season with salt and pepper. This will keep chicken from drying out on pit. put chicken on hot pit. warm up sauce on stove. right before chicken is ready turn your oven to broil. have water already boiling for pasta. throw in pasta. stir so it want stick. put chicken on platter that can go in oven. put a little sauce on chicken then the cheese. put under broiler. leave oven door open. drain pasta. do not run cold water on pasta. put pasta back in pot. immeadiately put a little sauce on pasta and fold pasta around. this will keep pasta from sticking. watch chicken during this because it will finish off fast under broiler. plate your chicken and pasta put sauce on top of pasta with some good cheese on top. thats it. chicken will have a charbroiled taste. very easy

I pound either pound the chicken breasts or filet them depending on the size. I then have one bowl of for flour, one for bread crumbs, and one for beaten eggs. I prefer using plain bread crumbs (if you like crispier get the panko kind) and mix in some parmasean cheese, salt, pepper, and orgeno. I then cover the breast in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs in that order. After all the breasts are breaded, I heat up some olive oil (not too hot) and pan fry each for a minute or two on each side until brown. Preheat your oven to 350 and cook for about 20 minutes. Then flip them and let cook for another 15. Then for the last 5 minutes add some mozzarella cheese and fresh basil on top....Or if you prefer to have them covered in red sauce, cook in oven for 15 minutes and then when you flip them, then cover with the sauce.

I've also tried in the past and marinating the breasts in some italian dressing for about 20 minutes before breading them. Its a lot messier but prevents the chicken from drying up if your concerned about over cooking them.

You're flattening your chicken breasts, browning them in a pan and still cooking them for 40 minutes in the oven? Do you just like dry chicken?

I was going to fry the chicken but all of these suggestions are making my mouth water so I'm probably going to try them all. I was planning on making it for my SO since it is one of their favorite dishes. Thanks for all of the tips!

wash and dry chicken breasts
melt three stick butter/margarine and put this in a bowl
Mix half bread crumbs and half parm cheese in a bowl, add garlic, black pepper, basil
Dip chicken breast in butter, dip in bread crumb mixture and coat with butter and breadcrumb mixture
Put the coated chicken breasts in an oven pan and cook until done--365 for about 35 minutes--will be juicy and flavorful.
Serve with angel hair and sauce--

That sounds really good.

I usually pound mine thin and then coat in flower\egg\italian breadcrumbs, then fry it in a little olive oil until it's browned on both sides. I make it thin so it will finish cooking but not get the outside burned. Always been a hit. I'm really intrigued with using parmeasan too and butter and just baking it. Seems like it would make it easier for bigger batches.

INGREDIENTS:
1 egg, beaten
2 ounces dry bread crumbs
2 skinless, boneless chicken
breast halves
3/4 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
2 ounces shredded mozzarella
cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
cheese

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking sheet.
2. Pour egg into a small shallow bowl. Place bread crumbs in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken into egg, then into the bread crumbs. Place coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until no longer pink and juices run clear.
3. Pour 1/2 of the spaghetti sauce into a 7x11 inch baking dish. Place chicken over sauce, and cover with remaining sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses on top and return to the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Not a big fan of store bought breadcrumbs. Best thing so far has been 70% cheezits and 30% vegetable thins (the old style, before they made them healthy in ~2007)pounded to crumbs and then prepare as the other guys do it. Since you can't get the old, greasy veg thins any more, just regular cheezits do it for me now. Sometimes I cut it with regulr breadcrumbs
