Spaghetti topped with marinara, breaded and baked chicken breast

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. In a bowl, beat the eggs and set aside. In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Prepare the Chicken

Dip each chicken breast in the beaten eggs, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Bread the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a baking dish.

Cook the Chicken

Pour marinara sauce over the chicken and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Add Sauce and Cheese

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Bake the Chicken

While the chicken is baking, cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Cook Spaghetti

Serve the chicken Parmesan over a bed of spaghetti, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
