Trim the chicken breasts, removing the filet.

Slice into the chicken breasts to open them up, making them thinner.

Place parchment paper on top of the chicken and roll it out to flatten.

Dust the chicken with flour, shaking off the excess.

Submerge the chicken in an egg wash, ensuring it's fully coated.

Prepare the bread crumbs by mixing with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and Parmesan cheese.

Coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring all exposed areas are covered.

Flip the chicken on parchment paper and roll it with a rolling pin to press the breadcrumbs in.

Boil water for spaghetti, adding a touch of olive oil and salt.

Add spaghetti to boiling water and cook for 9-10 minutes, twisting it around after 10 seconds.

Heat a tablespoon of rapeseed oil in a pan until hot.

Cook the chicken in the pan for 2.5 minutes on each side, adding butter to help brown the breadcrumbs.

Remove the chicken from the pan onto a platter.

Top the chicken with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese, seasoning the mozzarella with salt and pepper.

Place the chicken in the oven to melt the cheese.

Saute broccoli rabe with olive oil, seasoning with salt, pepper, and chili flakes, and finish with lemon juice.

Drain the pasta and lightly season with olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh parsley, adding a teaspoon of sauce.

Add broken basil leaves to the pasta and twist to combine.

Plate the dish by placing broccoli rabe in the center, adding a spoon of sauce, then the chicken on top, and finally the pasta.
