Ingredients
- 2 boneless-skinless chicken breasts
- 1 jar marinara sauce
- 1 cup flour
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 3/4 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 1 1/2 tablespoons dried basil
- 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 sheets wax paper
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- linguini
Preparation
Step 1
Place chicken breasts between sheets of wax paper and pound the chicken until its about ½ inch thick throughout. In a pie plate combine breadcrumbs, oregano, basil, cayenne pepper, and parmesan cheese. Crack an egg into a bowl and slightly beat. Take a separate plate and pour flour on it. Dredge your chicken breasts first in flour, then in egg and then in the breadcrumb mixture.
Step 2: Put your chicken breasts in a pan and sauté until browned on both sides. (only cook until browned, do not cook all the way through)
Step 3: Place chicken into an oven safe dish and top chicken with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Step 4: Place chicken into the oven and bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. Serve on linguini topped with the remaining marinara sauce.
