How to prepare Chicken Parmesan Pasta


Ingredients:

  • > 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • > Salt and black pepper to taste
  • > 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • > 2 large eggs, beaten
  • > 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • > 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • > 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • > 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • > 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • > 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • > 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • > 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • > 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • > 8 ounces cooked pasta (spaghetti or penne)
  • > 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • > Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).


  2. 2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.


  3. 3. Place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese into separate shallow bowls.


  4. 4. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat with the other chicken breast.


  5. 5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.


  6. 6. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, sugar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer the sauce for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.


  7. 7. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.


  8. 8. Place the cooked pasta in a greased baking dish. Pour the tomato sauce over the pasta and toss to combine.


  9. 9. Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips and place them over the pasta and sauce. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.


  10. 10. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.


  11. 11. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
