Chicken Parm in Penne Chunky Sauce

Ingredients needed:

 Penne pasta – penne rigate is fine too  it’s the same thing…3 boxes
 Sauce – Ragu Chunky Tomato Garlic & Onion Pasta Sauce…2 big jars because
you will need some for the pasta to toss in and for the chicken to layer on – make
it 3 just in case 
 Mozzarella cheese – shredded or block whichever is fine I would say buy two of
the big block ones yea its a lot to shred but I think its more cost effective if not u
would probably need like 4 or 5 bags of the shredded cheese – u know now that I
think about it BJs sells the big bag of the shredded Polly-O so that should be
sufficient  buy that one!!  I am assuming u are going to BJs…or Costco…they
sell this…
 Chicken – BJs sells the pack of like 5 or 6 pouches that should be enough for 14
people I think because you can slice them up and its like 3 to 4 pieces per pouch
so that should make about 15 to 20 pieces of chicken…
 Breadcrumb – any brand as long as its Italian
 Eggs
 Adobo – La Flor is my preferred brand I find Goya to be a little salty
 Sazon Goya with Culantro y Achiote
 Aluminum Pans
 Cooking Oil
Steps:

1. I like to rinse my chicken with water and lemon juice so you can empty the
pouches of chicken into a big bowl and let it sit in water and lemon for about 10
mins…it tenderizes the chicken and makes it juicy when frying…you can then cut
the chicken vertically into thin slices that way the chicken isn’t too thick…you
want a flat piece of chicken makes it easier to coat in the breadcrumb and fry…I
also cut off any pieces of string or fat that looks ugly…lol!...after you rinse off
your chicken and its cut into your desired pieces sprinkle with adobo to your taste
and about 1 ½ to 2 packets of sazon…mix it together with your hands…and make
sure each piece is seasoned…set it aside
2. whisk about 3 to 4 eggs together in a bowl – you will use this to drench your
chicken in before the breadcrumbs
3. pour breadcrumb on a flat surface – on aluminum foil is good
4. take chicken dip in eggs then cover in breadcrumb and set aside – do this for each
piece of chicken – make sure the chicken is completely covered in breadcrumb
5. while dipping the chicken take a frying pan and pour enough cooking oil to cover
the bottom and about ½ inch from the bottom so it can thoroughly cook the
chicken – let the oil heat up while you dip your chicken – probably about 5 to 7
mins on a medium to low heat setting – lower the heat if its too hot because it will
burn the chicken once you place it on the pan…
6. once the oil is hot enough it crackles you can add 2 to 3 pieces of chicken at a
time – let it cook at a medium to low heat setting – the breadcrumb should brown
after about 4 to 5 mins…flip over and fry for another 3 to 4 mins…check each
side before removing from pan – repeat until all chicken is fried. Lay chicken on
bounty sheets to soak up any oil and set aside to cool…
7. take a tall pot and fill with water to boil for the pasta – will boil after 10 to 15
mins on high heat setting – add a little salt and oil to water while boiling
8. once water has boiled add pasta and lower heat setting – stir and let pasta cook for
about 12 to 15 mins – the pasta should soften – stir at 5 min increments so it
doesn’t stick together…after the pasta has soften (might be more than 15 mins
since it’s a lot!) drain pasta and set aside
9. take pasta and pour into large aluminum foil pan – two if using the small ones but
have extras just in case 
10. toss pasta with chunky sauce and mozzarella cheese – just sprinkle cheese don’t
use a lot just enough to make it cheesy
11. preheat oven to 350 degrees
12. after you have tossed the pasta with cheese and sauce lay the fried chicken cutlets
on top of the pasta in a row – then pour the sauce over the chicken – then sprinkle
cheese on top of the chicken – after you have laid out all the chicken with the
sauce and cheese cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for about 45
mins to 1 hour
13. that’s chicken parm on a bed of penne pasta in chunky sauce! 
14. you can serve with Garlic Texas Toast if you like…
15. Buen Provecho!
