Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 ounces spaghetti
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking dish. Top each piece with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat in the buttery garlic sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the chicken parmesan on a plate with buttery garlic spaghetti on the side. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add Italian seasoning to the breadcrumbs.
- Feel free to use store-bought marinara sauce for convenience.
- You can substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs if preferred.
