Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed and finely chopped
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 cups prepared marinara sauce
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 (5 ounce) package garlic croutons

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Coat the bottom of a 9x13 inch casserole dish with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic and hot red pepper flakes.
  • Arrange the chicken breasts in bottom of the dish, and pour marinara sauce over chicken. Sprinkle basil over marinara sauce, and top with half the mozzarella cheese, followed by half the Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle on the croutons, then top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven until cheese and croutons are golden brown and the chicken is no longer pink inside, about 35 minutes to an hour, depending on the shape and thickness of your chicken breasts. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chicken breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Use a meat mallet to tenderize the chicken breasts before breading them. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Make sure the chicken tenders are evenly coated in bread crumbs before frying them. This will help them get crispy and golden brown.
  • Fry the chicken tenders in hot oil until they are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken tenders immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, or ranch dressing are all popular choices.
  • To make the penne and broccoli, simply cook the penne pasta according to the package directions and then add the broccoli florets to the boiling water for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Drain the pasta and broccoli and then toss them with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Conclusion:

Chicken parmesan with penne and broccoli is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken tenders are crispy and golden brown, the penne is tender and flavorful, and the broccoli is a healthy and colorful addition. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
