Preparation

Step 1

1.Chicken: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread tomato sauce into a 9×13 baking dish. Spread Parmesan in a shallow dish. Trim chicken pat dry with paper towels, season with salt and pepper, and coat with Parmesan. Lay chicken on top of spaghetti sauce. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until chicken is done.
2.Chicken: Sprinkle Mozzarella and pepperoni over the chicken. Continue to bake about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
3.Spaghetti: Meanwhile, bring 4 quarts of water to boil in a large pot. Add pasta and 1 tablespoon salt and cook, stirring often, until al dente. Reserve ½ cup cooking water, then drain and return to pot.
4.Spoon some sauce from the baking dish into the pasta and toss to combine. Add reserved cooking water as needed. Serve with chicken and remaining sauce.




Notes:
I found that I only needed about 1/4 cup of the crumbly Kraft Parmesan to coat the chicken. I could also only fit about 1 tablespoon of Mozzarella and a few slices of pepperoni on top of each chicken breast as well.
