Hey friends! Feeling like a comforting, classic meal tonight? This Crispy Chicken Parmesan with Spaghetti is easy to make and oh-so-delicious – perfect for a cozy evening in. And it’s senior-friendly, meaning minimal fuss and maximum flavor!
Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch thick slices
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko recommended for extra crispiness)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 (24-ounce) jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
- 1 pound spaghetti
- Fresh basil (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken slices with salt and pepper. Place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Dredge each chicken slice in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure good coverage. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Cook the Spaghetti: While the chicken is cooking, cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Assemble & Serve: In a large bowl, gently toss the cooked spaghetti with your favorite spaghetti sauce. Top with the crispy chicken parmesan slices. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
