Chicken Parmigiana with Spaghetti
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 oz spaghetti
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, then season with salt and pepper.
- Dredge the chicken breasts in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce. Place the cooked chicken breasts on top, then cover with the remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Divide the cooked spaghetti onto plates, then top with a chicken breast and some of the marinara sauce. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve hot.
