So easy and delicious, this lightly breaded chicken with pasta and red sauce is a powerhouse in our home. My husband makes such a great red sauce, and he makes a large batch to use in 2 to 3 recipes for the week. He usually makes spaghetti and meatballs with red sauce first. The following night, he will use it to make this chicken dish. The following night, he will typically make something like calzones or pizza using the red sauce.
