A classic Italian-American dish featuring crispy chicken baked with mozzarella and served over spaghetti with marinara sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs or breasts (pounded to make evenly thin)
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko)
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried basil
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • Spaghetti (for serving)
  • Marinara sauce (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  2. Combine the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried basil in a small bowl. Mix well.
  3. Coat each pounded chicken piece in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly covered.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the breaded chicken on top.
  5. Bake the chicken for 15 minutes, then flip each piece and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the juices run clear.
  6. Place a slice of mozzarella on each piece of chicken and return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
  7. Serve the Chicken Parmesan over a bed of spaghetti with rich marinara sauce on top.
