A delightful twist on the classic Chicken Parmesan, featuring crispy chicken and a rich tomato sauce, served over tender pasta.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal crispiness for the chicken.
Place the breaded chicken breast patties on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Flipping the patties halfway ensures even crispiness on both sides.
While the chicken is baking, cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water for enhanced pasta flavor.
Remove the chicken from the oven and top each patty with marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Layer the cheese evenly to ensure a gooey, melted topping.
Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the cheese to prevent over-browning.
Serve the chicken patties over a bed of cooked pasta and garnish with fresh basil sprigs.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
