How to Make Chicken Napoli

  1. Cook 1 pound spaghetti according to package directions. Do not add oil to the water; this prevents the sauce from clinging to the pasta.
  2. While pasta cooks, cut 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Dredge each cutlet in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour seasoned with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  4. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  5. Add 4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto, 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves (roughly chopped), 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 red bell pepper (finely diced), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 2 tbsp butter to the skillet.
  6. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup dry white wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes to slightly reduce the sauce.
  8. Add 5 oz fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  9. To serve, toss the cooked spaghetti with the sauce. Top with the cooked chicken and extra grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately with garlic bread.
