Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

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.

2

Bread the Chicken

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

3

Cook 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.

4

Add Sauce and Cheese

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

5

Bake the Chicken

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.

6

Cook Spaghetti

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

7

Serve

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