Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 8-ounce boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1/3 cup milk (any percentage)
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 ounces fettuccine noodles
- 1 1/2 cups your favorite red sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- In a mixing bowl, pour the milk. In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Dip the chicken breast into the milk, then coat it in the panko mixture. Place in a baking dish.
- Bake the chicken for about 20 minutes, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- While the chicken is baking, bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Once the chicken is done baking, pour the red sauce over the chicken and sprinkle the cheeses on top.
- Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the chicken over the cooked fettuccine noodles, spooning extra red sauce over if desired.
