Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pasta

    Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Bread the Chicken

    In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In another shallow bowl, place the bread crumbs. Dip each chicken breast in the egg, then coat with bread crumbs.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine and Simmer

    Add the marinara sauce to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and let simmer for 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add Chicken and Cheese

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning some sauce over each piece. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top and cover the skillet until the cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the chicken pazzaiola over the cooked pasta. Enjoy!
