Chicken Parmesan with pasta and mozzarella cheese is a classic Italian-American dish that combines the rich flavors of breaded and fried chicken breasts, tangy pasta sauce, and gooey melted mozzarella cheese, all served over a bed of pasta. This recipe is hearty, comforting, and perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Season the chicken breasts with a dash of salt and black pepper on both sides.
3. Breading the Chicken:
- In a shallow dish, whisk the egg until beaten.
- Spread the bread crumbs in another shallow dish.
- Dip each chicken breast in the beaten egg, then coat it with bread crumbs, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this stage as it will finish cooking in the oven.
5. Arrange to Bake:
- Transfer the browned chicken breasts to a baking dish.
- Pour the pasta sauce evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce-covered chicken.
- Finally, add the grated parmesan cheese.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- While the chicken is baking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and set aside.
- Once the chicken parmesan is done baking, remove it from the oven.
- Serve each chicken breast atop a bed of the cooked pasta.
- Spoon extra sauce from the baking dish over the chicken and pasta if desired.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired, and enjoy your homemade Chicken Parmesan with Pasta and Mozzarella Cheese!
Tips:
- For a healthier option, you can bake the breaded chicken breasts at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes instead of frying them.
- To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (75°C).
- If you prefer a crispier coating, use Panko bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after frying or baking to allow the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist.
- For extra flavor, add some minced garlic and chopped fresh basil to the pasta sauce.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a more robust and creamy flavor.
Enjoy your delicious Chicken Parmesan with pasta and mozzarella cheese! This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends, providing a satisfying and comforting meal that combines crunchy, cheesy, and savory flavors in every bite.
