Steps:
- Soak the raisins in warm water until they plump, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, pine nuts, and olives. Season with bay leaves, oregano, and cayenne. Cook until the onions have softened and begun to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper; cook for 5 more minutes. Add the raisins, balsamic vinegar, and sugar; cook, stirring occasionally until thickened, about 5 more minutes. Remove the bay leaves, and stir in the julienned basil. Cover and keep warm.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. While the skillet is heating, toss the chicken with the lemon juice to coat (the lemon zest will be used later). Cook the chicken on both sides until golden brown and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a warm plate, and allow to rest for about five minutes.
- To serve, slice each chicken breast against the grain into thin slices. Divide the pasta into four wide, shallow bowls. Fan the chicken slices out over top of the pasta, and spoon the tomato sauce over them. Sprinkle with lemon zest, Parmesan cheese, and a sprig of basil to garnish.

SICILIAN CHICKEN PARMESAN
My own way of doing this, of course with tips handed down from mom. I'm posting this as a request to Doreen, my cousin-in-law, who raves about my Italian cooking. You can use jarred or your own homemade tomato sauce or mine (Recipe #195848) but homemade is always better. Some of the measurements are approximate as I never measure anything. You may find you need a bit more or less. Use fresh grated cheese....not that stuff in the green canister you find on the grocery shelves. And use mozzarella cheese that comes in a chunk, not the pre-grated kind. You'll also need a large roasting pan or baking dish, large enough to hold the chicken in a single layer or just slightly overlapping each other.

Steps:
- Carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally. Don't worry if they're not perfect or if one half comes out real thin as you slice each one. Believe me, no one will notice.
- Mix the breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup Parmesan in a shallow dish. Have the beaten eggs in another shallow dish.
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat.
- Dip each chicken breast into the egg, allowing excess to drip off, and then into the breadcrumb mixture, covering both sides. Place chicken onto a clean plate. Do this with all the chicken before starting to cook them.
- Preheat oven to 350F/180°C.
- Pour about 3-4 tablespoons olive oil into the pan and let it get hot. Fry the chicken about 2-3 minutes each side and transfer to a plate. Add more oil to pan as needed.
- Ladle the tomato sauce (about 1 cup) into the baking dish to cover the bottom. Put the chicken breasts into the dish in a single layer or slightly overlapping.
- Layer the parma ham over the chicken at this point, if using.
- Ladle more tomato sauce (about 1 cup) over the chicken. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella all over the chicken to cover, then sprinkle the 1/4 cup grated parmesan.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until cheese has melted and become slightly golden in color.
- Serve with pasta,remaining tomato sauce, a crusty loaf of bread and salad.
- Enjoy!

SICILIAN CHICKEN IN TOMATO SAUCE
Herbs, capers and a touch of cinnamon highlight the tomato sauce in which these chicken breasts simmer. Serve with a short pasta such as fusilli or conchiglie to catch the sauce. From Ontario Chicken Lover magazine.

I made up this one to resemble the rotisserie chicken I love so much. It is so expensive here, so here's my version.

SICILIAN CHICKEN
This is from Cooking Light. This dish is very well balanced - a good mix of salty, sweet, and acidic. We used chicken tenderloins and Spanish olives with pimentos, but otherwise followed the recipe to a T. The prep is super easy and this meal is done in no time!
