Preparation

Preheat broiler. Lightly butter 13 x 9-inch (33 x 23 cm) glass baking dish; set aside. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain.

In shallow dish, combine bread crumbs and Canadian Parmesan cheese. Dip chicken into crumb mixture, one piece at a time, pressing to coat. Place in single layer in prepared baking dish; set aside.

In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook garlic, onion and herbs, stirring for 3 min or until softened. Stir in tomatoes and sugar; bring to boil. Boil, stirring occasionally for 5 min or until slightly thickened. Whisk flour into milk; gradually stir into pan. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, 5 min. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, broil chicken for 5 min or until crust is golden, turning once. Top each piece of chicken with 1/4 cup (60 mL) sauce. Broil for 5 min longer or until chicken is no longer pink inside and sauce is bubbling. Toss remaining sauce with pasta; serve sprinkled with more Canadian Parmesan, if desired.
