Ingredients

Scale
  • 300g pasta (penne or rigatoni)
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • While the pasta cooks, slice the chicken breasts into thin cutlets.
  • In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Dip the chicken cutlets into the beaten egg, then coat evenly in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add marinara sauce and heat it through. Stir in the cooked pasta until well coated.
  • Place the crispy chicken on top of the pasta, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella over everything.
  • Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  • Garnish with chopped basil if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, season the chicken cutlets with Italian seasoning before breading.
  • You can use whole-grain or gluten-free pasta to suit your preferences.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
