Cheater Chicken Parmesan with Parmesan Garlic Pasta

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. While oven is pre-heating, get a pot of water boiling for your pasta.

Bake your chicken patties for 15 minutes. While your chicken is cooking, salt your pasta water and get your noodles cooking. While those 2 things are going, warm up your marinara sauce.

When chicken is done, turn on your broiler. Top each piece of chicken with a spoonful of sauce, spread to cover the entire top, then add shredded mozzarella cheese (enough to cover) and a teaspoon of grated Parmesan cheese. Place under the broiler to get the top melted and slightly browned. Keep a close eye on it so it doesn’t burn.

When pasta is done, drain off the water and add butter and olive oil to coat the pasta. Add garlic bread sprinkles and the remaining Parmesan cheese. Toss together to get all noodles coated. Add a couple of grinds of pepper to finish off.

Serve the chicken with pasta and top it with the extra marinara sauce. Round out the meal with some crusty bread and a salad. Enjoy!
