Chicken Parmesan Pasta
Crispy breaded chicken cutlets topped with marinara and bubbling mozzarella, served over spaghetti. A hearty Italian-American classic at 670 calories with 45g of protein.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chicken breast (1 small cutlet, pounded thin)
- 1 cup cooked spaghetti (dry measure ~2 oz)
- 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain.
- Pound chicken breast to an even 1/4-inch thickness and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Bread the chicken by dredging in flour, dipping in beaten egg, then coating with panko mixed with oregano.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and pan-fry chicken 3-4 minutes per side until golden.
- Spread a spoonful of marinara over each cutlet and top generously with mozzarella.
- Transfer skillet to the oven and bake 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts and the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Warm remaining marinara with minced garlic and Italian seasoning, then toss with the cooked spaghetti.
- Serve the chicken over the sauced spaghetti, garnished with fresh basil.
