Easy Chicken Parmigiana

• Ian’s Whole Wheat Panko bread crumbs
• Chicken Breast Fillets
• Angel Hair Pasta (We get the low-carb by Dreamfield---DELICIOUS!)
• Jar of your favorite marinara sauce (Again, we recommend Bertolli)
• Shredded cheese of your choice (we use Mozzarella, Provolone and Parmesan Reggiano)
• Little bit of butter
• Preheat oven to 400
• Smear butter all over the chicken breast fillets (it won’t stick really, but it will keep the chicken moist so that the Panko will stick to it)
• Mix Panko and Italian Seasoning (about 1 tbsp) and coat the chicken in it.
• Place chicken on a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan sprayed with cooking spray
• Bake for 20-35 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken. For regular boneless chicken breast, it can take the whole 35 minutes.
• Prepare your angel hair pasta while the chicken is baking.
• Approx 5 minutes before the chicken is done, place the cheese on top of the chicken and let it finish cooking.
• Spoon sauce on top and Voila, instant meal!
• This method of chicken works great for a really crunchy, fried chicken like, crispy crust on the chicken, without the unhealthy oil. It is also really good as a main dish with lemon pepper in it instead of Italian seasoning. It is super crispy and super Delicious. Ours is pictured below. I also toasted some deli sliced pepperoni in the oven for some crispy pepperoni chips. YUMMO!
