12- Minute Chicken Parmigiana with Pasta  

  ~ made possible with One-Step Breadcrumb ~ 

 

Serving size: 2 

 

1 packet One-Step Breadcrumb (about 2 tbsp) 

2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil 

4 tbsp Shredded Mozzarella

8 ounces (1/2 lb) long cut pasta (10-12 minute cook time)

12 oz Pasta Sauce (prepared or make your own beforehand)

2 thinly sliced 4-6 ounce Chicken Cutlets 

 

Recommended: use a clock or phone timer to follow the 12-minute recipe below.

Heat water in a pot and when the water boils, you are ready to start. 

 

1. Start the timer and place pasta into boiling water. Stir a few times to prevent clumping.  The pasta should be cooked perfectly “al dente” between 10-12 minutes.   

2. Pour the EVOO into the pan and set to medium flame/heat. 

3. Empty the One-Step Breadcrumb packet onto a plate

4. Coat both sides of each cutlet with the breadcrumb and place both into the heated pan at the same time about the 1 minute mark.  

5. 3 minutes later (4 minute mark) turn over the cutlets. Take note of time. Turn on the broiler with top rack 6 inches from flame/heat. 

6. 3 minutes later (7 minute mark) pour Pasta Sauce into the pan around the cutlets. Remove cutlets onto a baking pan and top each piece with Mozzarella and spoon on some Pasta Sauce. Place into oven (8 minute mark)  

7. Check the cutlets at 10 minute mark to be sure the cheese is not burning under the broiler flame. If browning, turn off oven and remove cutlets from the oven.   

8. Test pasta for readiness and remove and strain between 10-12 minutes.  Add and stir into the sauce.  

9.  Remove cutlets (if not already) once cheese melts, slightly browns. 

10.  Plate the pasta with the cutlets onto a serving platter.
