Parmesan Chicken & Pasta

Rely on this Italian-inspired chicken recipe for a quick and easy entreé the whole family will love.

ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (3-4 oz each)
2 egg whites
1 clove garlic, pressed
1 cup fat-free seasoned croutons, grated (1/2 cup crumbs)
1/4 cup fresh Parmesan cheese, grated (1 oz)
1 tsp dried oregano leaves
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
4 oz angel hair pasta, uncooked
14-oz jar tomato and basil spaghetti sauce
1/4 cup reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded (1 oz)

preparation

Preheat oven to 425˚F. Using Kitchen Shears, remove chicken from package and trim off any visible fat.

Using Mini-Whipper, beat egg whites in Classic Batter Bowl until frothy. Press garlic into egg whites using Garlic Press. Using Deluxe Cheese Grater fitted with coarse grating drum, grate croutons and Parmesan cheese into shallow bowl. Add oregano and black pepper; mix well.

Coat chicken breasts with flour. Dip into egg white mixture. Coat both sides of each chicken breast with crumb mixture, shaking off excess. Discard any remaining crumb mixture. Place chicken on Classic Round Stone; lightly spray with oil using Kitchen Spritzer. Bake 20-25 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Place spaghetti sauce in Small Micro-Cooker. Microwave, covered, on HIGH 2 minutes or until hot. Divide pasta among four serving plates. Top with one chicken breast half, a scant 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce and 1 tablespoon mozzarella cheese.
