Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts - 300 grams
• 1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs - 50 grams
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 25 grams
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano - 1 gram
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 2 grams
• 1/2 teaspoon salt - 3 grams
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper - 1 gram
• 1 large egg - 50 grams
• 1 cup marinara sauce - 240 grams
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese - 60 grams
• 200 grams gluten-free pasta (e.g., rice or corn-based) - 200 grams
• 1 tablespoon olive oil - 15 ml
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish - optional

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Cook the gluten-free pasta according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
3. In a shallow bowl, mix gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. In another bowl, beat the egg until well combined.
5. Dip each chicken breast in the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
6. In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
7. Pour marinara sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Serve the chicken parmesan over the cooked gluten-free pasta, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
