Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs preferably Italian-style
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
For the Sauce
  • 2 cups marinara sauce store-bought or homemade
For the Pasta
  • 12 ounces spaghetti
  • 1 tablespoon salt for pasta water
For the Topping
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped, for garnish

Method
 

Prepare the Chicken
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, and grated parmesan.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg, and coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a baking dish.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Pour marinara sauce over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
  2. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce-covered chicken.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Cook the Spaghetti
  1. While the chicken bakes, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually 8-10 minutes.
  3. Drain the pasta and set aside.
Plate and Serve
  1. Serve the spaghetti on plates, top with chicken parmesan, and garnish with chopped basil.
  2. Enjoy your Chicken Parmesan with Spaghetti hot!
