Chicken Parmesan Pasta

Last night I was really in the mood for Chicken Parmesan (and the fact that I had tomatoes to use up before they went bad!!!), but I know that it isn't really good for you since it's fried and all that breading, etc...So I created this yummy dish. My hubby loved it (which is saying a lot when it comes to pasta!!!) and it even tasted good re-heated!


Chicken Parmesan Pasta
Makes 4 Servings
2 raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 Tbsp of Italian Seasoning
salt and pepper
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 cup of roasted tomato sauce or whatever low cal sauce you like
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup mozzarella cheese; shredded
4 cups whole wheat rotini or penne

Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.

  First, take the two chicken breasts (they can be frozen still if necessary) and put them in a pot. Cover them with water, the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder; boil the crap out of them and then shred. Boil the pasta to your preference. When the pasta is drained and the chicken is shredded, combine them in a large bowl along with 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese and the sauce. When all of it is mixed well, put into a small casserole dish (I spray mine with cooking spray first). Once that is in there, put the rest of the cheese and then the breadcrumbs on top. Spray top lightly with cooking spray and cook for about 18 minutes.

Enjoy!!!
