Tastes like a restaurant arrabiata pasta dish! My teenagers (mom's guinea pigs) loved this but requested a variation for next time. They wanted me to top it with the chicken, maybe just grilled rather than breaded or maybe italian sausage.

We tried this exactly as written, with the one exception being I sliced the chicken before frying, and it is fantastic! Just the right amount of heat/spicyness, and minimal prep work!

Excellent - a KEEPER! I tweaked a bit as suggested by others (more sauce, cut chicken before frying). Next time will try adding an add'l small can of diced tomato (this time I added about a cup of leftover jar sauce, and made a little less penne. Still slightly too hot for me, but my husband loved it). I used 2 large eggs and had leftover egg, probably 2 medium eggs would work. Used 1/2 cup less breadcrumbs, still had leftover. Thanks Brooklyn Girl!

I loved this - it was spicy, not too creamy, not too runny and the fried chicken recipe is perfect for this pasta dish! I increased the garlic and reduced the amount of oil in the sauce). Great recipe!

It wasn't bad, but not exceptional. I would really rate this as a 3 1/2 star recipe. A fair amount of cooking for a lukewarm reception. My daughter, who adores this sort of thing didn't even comment, let alone have seconds. :(

AWESOME! I have a very picky Italian husband he helped himself over and over again. The only thing I will say if you plan on doubling the recipe, do not double the red pepper and the garlic. It was pretty spicy....

Great taste with a kick which my family likes. Instead of cutlets, I used chicken tenderloins(which I had on hand) and followed the recipe from there. Yummy!

This was really good, thanks for posting. My friends mom used to make this all the time when we were growing up. (In Brooklyn too ;) I also used all fresh tomatoes, skinned and seeded. So simple and so good.

Living in England, it can be very difficult to get a true sauce that reminds me of holidaying in the States, but this is it! - Absolutely Fantastic - Thank you ever so much for sharing this with the rest of the world.

Just like our favorite Italian restaurant! I used fresh tomatoes in place of half of the canned tomatoes---makes all the difference and gives it that restaurant quality that brings rave reviews from the family. Fresh basil is a must also.

I made this the other night and thought it was very good. My husband thought it was wonderful. I followed the recipe exactly but didn't put in all the red pepper. Will definitely make this again. The sauce was very good and flavorful. Thanks for the recipe.

This recipe is outstanding. The canned tomato products called for make it quick and easy; the fresh Basil adds a little upscale flair. You could add steps and ingredients to this recipe- but it's unlikely they would improve it. Thanks for sharing it, Brooklyn!
