The chicken needs to cook longer than 20 min. in the oven. I cooked it for 10 min. longer in a preheated oven.

When breading it’s okay to double bread them! After you do egg and breadcrumbs once, do it again! You don’t waste and it is extra delicious!

I added some extra tomatoes on the top and made zucchini spaghetti in stead of using traditional spaghetti. It turned out delicious!

Delicious! If you want an extra health boost, used spiralized zucchini instead of pasta in your sauce :)
