Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 chicken breasts (cut into bite-size pieces)
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 2 cups Italian bread crumbs
- 16 ounces penne pasta
- 36 ounces marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil.
- Place flour and cubed chicken in a gallon size Ziploc bag and shake to coat.
- In a medium size bowl, beat eggs well. Remove flour coated chicken from the bag and place in the egg mixture. Lightly turn chicken cubes till evenly coated.
- In another medium sized bowl add the breadcrumbs. Transfer the chicken from the egg mixture to the breadcrumbs and coat evenly.
- Next place chicken into hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes per side until browned. Work in batches if needed and set aside on a paper towel to drain the excess oil.
- Heat water for pasta in a large pot and cook al dente per package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Pour drained pasta in a baking dish and pour ½ of Marinara sauce on top. Stir with a large spoon till sauce is evenly distributed through pasta.
- Top pasta with ½ of the shredded mozzarella cheese and shredded parmesan cheese.
- Place a layer of fried chicken on top of cheese.
- Pour the rest of the marinara sauce evenly over the chicken. Top with remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Top with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy!
Notes
- Chicken: I used diced chicken breasts for this recipe but you can use diced boneless skinless chicken thighs if you prefer.
- For the Sauce: I used a jarred marinara sauce. Use your favorite brand and flavor to heightened the flavor of the pasta dish. You can also use a homemade marinara sauce if you prefer.
- Leftovers: Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5-6 days. Reheat the leftovers in the oven or microwave until heated through.
