What you need:
- 2 lb. chicken breasts, sliced in half lengthwise to make thinner breasts
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 4 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups pasta sauce
- 2 cups baby spinach, chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- Cooked pasta, if desired
Directions:
- Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. In a shallow plate, combine Panko and Parmesan cheese.
- Press the chicken gently into the Panko mixture on both sides to coat.
- In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat 2 to 3 Tbsp. olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook chicken in oil until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Don't overcrowd the pan and do in batches if necessary.
- Remove chicken from skillet and remove oil if needed. Pour pasta sauce onto the bottom of the skillet then gently lay the chicken on top of the pasta sauce.
- Top each piece of chicken with a few tablespoons of pasta sauce, chopped spinach, and a few tablespoons of mozzarella.
- Place under the broiler for 2 to 4 minutes until the cheese has turned golden brown.
