Chicken Parmesan over Pasta
4 servings
40 minutes total

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (or ½ cup egg substitute)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup Italian-style bread crumbs
  • 2 boneless chicken cutlets (or fillets; about 1 ¼ lb)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 4 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 8 oz spaghetti pasta
  • 2 cups tomato-basil pasta sauce

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Bring water to a boil for pasta. Place flour in shallow bowl, beat eggs in second bowl, and combine Parmesan and bread crumbs in third bowl.
    2. Sprinkle seasoning on both sides of chicken; cut into 4 equal portions. Dredge chicken in flour (coating both sides), dip into egg (letting excess drip off), and coat with bread crumb mixture, pressing with fingertips to adhere (wash hands).
    3. Preheat oil in large sauté pan on medium 2–3 minutes. Add chicken; cook 2–3 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer chicken to baking sheet and top with cheese; bake 4–5 minutes until cheese melts and chicken is 165°F.
    4. Cook pasta following package instructions, then drain. Pour sauce into same pan; simmer 2–3 minutes until hot. Divide pasta among serving plates; top with sauce and chicken. Serve.
