Ingredients

  • 4 oz uncooked spaghetti (1/4 of a 16 ounce box)
  • 14 oz spaghetti sauce (divide into 1 1/4 cups and 1/2 cup)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¾ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 egg
  • ½ Tbsp water
  • ¼ cup + 1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¾ cup Panko Japanese Bread Crumbs
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken filets (4 oz each)
  • ⅓ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp fresh basil (cut into small ribbons)
  • 1 Tbsp cooking oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

  • Second shallow dish: Whisk egg and water together until incorporated.
  • Third shallow dish: Stir together the Parmesan cheese and Panko.

  • Dredge each piece of chicken into flour and shake off the excess flour.
  • Dip each into the egg.
  • Coat each with Panko and Parmesan mix. Press on extra Panko mixture to coat.
  • Heat the cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  • Fry the chicken until browned and cooked through, about 5 - 7 minutes on each side.
  • Place the spaghetti with sauce into two 18.6 ounce individual baking dishes or one 8 x 8 inch baking dish.
  • Top the spaghetti with the chicken.
  • Spoon a couple tablespoons of sauce on top of each chicken.
  • Top each with some Parmesan cheese, Mozzarella cheese and basil.
  • Bake for about 5 minutes until Mozzarella is melted.
