The Ultimate Chicken Parmesan Spaghetti
Here’s an amazing creation that marries the classic flavors of chicken parmesan with the comfort of spaghetti. It’s easy to prepare and will surely become a favorite in your home.
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (Italian style for that extra flavor)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Spaghetti (enough for 4 servings)
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Begin by preparing the chicken. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them until they are about 1/2 inch thick for even cooking.
- In a shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs.
- Dip each chicken breast first into the eggs, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat them in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.
- Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes each. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
- Pour the marinara sauce over the chicken, and generously top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- While the chicken is baking, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Once the chicken is done, serve it over a bed of spaghetti, making sure to spoon some of that delicious marinara sauce over the top.
- Garnish with fresh basil if desired, and enjoy your Ultimate Chicken Parmesan Spaghetti!
