Preparation

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 350.
Spray small baking dish with cooking spray.
Coat chicken breasts in EVOO.
Place Panko crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a large storage bag (like Ziplock).
Coat Chicken breasts in mixture.
Place in baking dish, cover and then into oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the covering from the chicken and bake for 20 minutes more.
Whisk sauce mix, vodka and cream in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened (about 4 minutes).
Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Mix pasta, chicken and sauce and serve.

To make a 'hot-dish' place the mixture into a 13" x 9" baking dish and cover with 1/2 Cup Parmesan cheese and bake for 10 minutes (until the cheese melts).

Pre-cooked chicken breasts can also be used and shorten the cooking time by 30 minutes.
