Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Pasta Roni (Parmesan flavor)
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (Italian-style)
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1.5 cups Marinara sauce
- 2 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the chicken breasts by placing them between two sheets of plastic wrap and pounding them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge each piece first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the breaded chicken breasts for 3–4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. You may need to do this in batches, adding more oil as needed.
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of marinara sauce over each piece of chicken and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the Pasta Roni according to the package instructions using water, milk, and butter. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the pasta is cooked and creamy, serve it alongside the baked chicken Parmesan.
Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy your Pasta Roni Chicken Parmesanie!
