Method
Chicken Preparation
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Bread the Chicken
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs. Dip each chicken breast first in flour, then in the eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs.
Bake the Chicken
Place the breaded chicken on a baking sheet and top each piece with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Lemon Butter Sauce Preparation
Make the Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Combine Ingredients
Stir in fresh lemon juice and lemon zest. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat and add chopped parsley.
Pasta Preparation
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cappellini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
