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
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
