Ingredients

US Customary - Metric
  • 8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti or high protein
  • 16 ounces boneless and skinless chicken breasts 4 pieces
  • 1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 egg whisked
  • 1 cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 24 ounces marinara sauce jar, clean-eating (sugar-free)
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella part-skim, shredded
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cook and drain pasta until al dente, according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, line up chicken breasts, cover with plastic wrap, and pound each to 1/2-inch with the bottom of a heavy-bottomed pan, jar, or a mallet. Whisk flour with salt and pepper and place in an even layer on a flat plate.
  • Place egg in a shallow bowl. Place breadcrumbs in an even layer on another plate. Dip chicken in flour on both sides to coat the chicken. Dip chicken in eggs and allow any excess egg to drip off.
  • Dip chicken in breadcrumbs, pressing to coat in an even layer on each side.
  • Pan sauté chicken cutlets in olive oil on the stovetop, so there is a little space between each. Cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. You might have to work in batches and do 2 chicken breasts at a time, depending on the size of the pan.
  • Lay pasta in a baking pan and cover with half the marinara sauce. Lay chicken on top. Pour the rest of the marinara sauce over chicken. Top chicken and pasta with mozzarella and then parmesan and bake for 10 minutes, uncovered, until cheese is fully melted. Enjoy!
