Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 pieces large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 12 ounces dried spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the spaghetti.

  2. 2

    Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and half of the Parmesan cheese.

  3. 3

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into the egg wash, and then press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.

  4. 4

    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and fry chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Spread a small amount of marinara sauce over each chicken breast, then top generously with mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan.

  6. 6

    Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

  7. 7

    While the chicken bakes, cook the spaghetti according to package directions and toss with the remaining warmed marinara sauce.

  8. 8

    Serve the breaded chicken over the bed of pasta and garnish with fresh chopped basil.
