Ingredients

4 (about 4 ounces each) boneless skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (and can we agree not to use the stuff in the green can?)

1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (or mix some oregano, basil and thyme together)

Freshly ground pepper

1/8 cup reduced fat mayonnaise

1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

8 ounces spaghetti, cooked according to package directions

3 cups marinara sauce, either homemade or your favorite prepared sauce, heated

1 cup (4 - ounces) part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded

Chopped fresh parsley or basil or both, optional

Directions

Place the chicken breasts into a large zip top bag; using a meat mallet (not the pointy tenderizer side, but the flat side) or rolling pin, pound to 1/4 inch thickness.

Combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasonings and pepper in a shallow dish.

Split the mayonnaise between each breast and spread it evenly across the top with a spatula or knife. Dredge each breast, mayo side only, in the breadcrumb mixture.

Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Place the breast, breaded side down; cook until brown, about 5 minutes; turn and cook the other side until done, about 5 minutes more.

Preheat the broiler.

Place 1 cup of the cooked spaghetti in each of 4 oven-proof bowls or gratin dishes. Spoon 1/2 cup of the marinara over the spaghetti, top with a chicken breast then another 1/4 cup of sauce. Top with 1/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese.

Broil for 3 - 4 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Garnish with the herbs, if desired.
