Chicken Parmesan Linguine Recipe

by Valerie Boese

6 SERVINGS

Directions

• In a small bowl, mix Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Set aside.
• Add flour and chicken to a 1-gallon zip-close bag, and shake thoroughly to coat each chicken piece.
• In a large frying pan, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add coated chicken pieces one at a time, and brown for 5 to 8 minutes on each side. Add more olive oil to pan if needed as chicken cooks. 
• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Remove chicken from frying pan and place in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, spacing about 1/2 inch apart. Season with salt and pepper. Cover each piece of chicken with a generous amount of marinara sauce. Spread cheese mixture evenly over top.
• Place chicken in oven to bake for 20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 F.
• While chicken is baking, cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain pasta, and then toss in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Remove chicken from oven. Divide pasta among 6 dinner plates, and top each with marinara sauce and a piece of chicken. Garnish with additional cheeses and snipped parsley.
