Provided by MandaGreens

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Parmesan Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 egg whites, lightly beaten
2 (16 ounce) jars Alfredo sauce
2 (14.5 ounce) cans Italian-style diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
1 (8 ounce) package fresh spinach
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place 2 cups Parmesan cheese into a shallow bowl.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Dip chicken breasts into the beaten egg whites.
  • Press chicken into Parmesan cheese in shallow bowl to coat both sides.
  • Gently toss between your hands so any cheese that hasn't stuck can fall away. Place the chicken on prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake chicken breasts in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 18 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, heat Alfredo sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and red pepper flakes in a large saucepan over low heat. Allow to simmer while you finish the remaining steps.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat; cook and stir mushrooms and spinach until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir vegetables into the sauce.
  • Place the penne pasta into a serving bowl; slice chicken breasts and arrange over the pasta.
  • Pour sauce over the pasta and chicken, and sprinkle remaining 1 cup Parmesan cheese on top.

  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is what makes chicken parmesan so delicious, so don't be afraid to use plenty of it.
  • Broil the chicken parmesan until it is golden brown and bubbly: This will give the dish a nice crispy crust.
