You have to try this easy, baked version of the Italian classic. This easy parmesan chicken recipe is perfect for busy weeknights and Sunday family suppers.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a 9X13 baking dish with cooking spray.
Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese on a plate or shallow bowl.
Melt butter in a separate shallow bowl.
Dip chicken breasts in butter, and then in the bread crumb mixture, making sure to coat each side completely
Arrange breaded chicken breasts in baking dish and pour the remaining melted butter on top of them. (You don't have to use all of the butter if you prefer a lighter dish.)
Bake for 20 minutes and remove pan from the oven.
Spoon pasta sauce on the bottom of the pan and on top of each chicken breast. Top each breast with a thick slice of mozzarella cheese and another spoonful of pasta sauce.
Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted and sauce is warm and bubbly.
While the chicken is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti noodles in boiling water, according to package directions. Drain noodles.
