Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (1 to 1-1/2 pounds)

Nonstick cooking spray

1 slightly beaten egg white

1 tablespoon water

3/4 cup cornflakes, crushed (about 1/3 cup)

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, basil, or oregano, crushed, or 1 teaspoon snipped fresh basil or oregano

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1-1/3 cups spaghetti sauce

4 ounces dried spaghetti, fettuccine, or other pasta, cooked according to package directions and drained

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh herb sprigs (optional)

 

Directions

1. Place each piece of chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, lightly pound to flatten slightly (about 1/2 inch thick). Remove plastic wrap.

2. Lightly coat a shallow baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In a shallow dish combine egg white and the water. In another shallow dish combine crushed cornflakes, the 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, the Italian seasoning, and pepper. Dip chicken pieces, one at a time, into egg mixture; coat with crumb mixture. Place coated chicken pieces in prepared baking pan.

3. Bake in a 400 degree oven about 15 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink (170 degrees F).

4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan warm spaghetti sauce over low heat. Divide pasta among 4 dinner plates. Place chicken on top of pasta. Spoon spaghetti sauce over chicken. If desired, sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese. If desired, garnish with fresh herb sprigs. Makes 4 servings.
