Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets - 6.7 oz
1/2 cup all-purpose flour - 4.0 quarter
2 large eggs, beaten - 9.0 pt
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs - 7.6 can
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 4.7 tbsp
1/4 cup olive oil - 9.7 quarter
2 cups tomato sauce, divided - 3.2 lb
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese - 9.3 dash
1 pound spaghetti - 4.2 pcs
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional) - 6.5 tsp

Cooking Steps

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.

Step 3

Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 5

Place the cooked chicken cutlets on the prepared baking sheet. Top each cutlet with tomato sauce, followed by mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7

While the chicken is baking, cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and toss with a little tomato sauce.

Step 8

Serve the baked chicken Parmesan over spaghetti. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
