Description

Crispy breaded chicken topped with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese, served over a bed of spaghetti for a classic Italian meal.

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Pound chicken breasts to even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
3. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, dip into beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture.
4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

6. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve over cooked spaghetti and garnish with fresh basil.

Tips

• To save time, use store-bought marinara sauce.
• Serve with a side of garlic bread or a green salad for a complete meal.
