Recipe type: Gluten Free / Dairy Free
Yield: 4-6 Servings
Ingredients:
- 1.25 lb. Organic Chicken Breast – Fat Trimmed
- 2 TBSP Olive Oil
- ½ Cup Gluten Free Panko Breadcrumbs (I used Aleia’s brand)
- ½ Cup Gluten Free Italian Style Breadcrumbs (I used Gillian’s brand)
- ¾ Teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- Cracked Black Pepper to Taste
- 2 Eggs + Splash Water Whisked
- 1 Jar Organic Tomato Sauce of Choice (I used Whole Foods Marinara)
- 1 12 oz. Box Organic Jovial Brown Rice Spaghetti (Gluten Free)
- 1/3 Cup Vegan Parmesan Cheese (I used Good Planet Foods brand) Plus more for pasta
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Slice chicken breast in half – so you have 4 smaller breasts to work with.
- Place saran wrap over a cutting board. Place chicken on saran and then place another layer of saran on top of the chicken. Pound chicken with meat tenderizer – both sides. Set aside.
- In a medium/large sized iron frying pan, add the olive oil and warm on medium heat.
- In a wide bowl, add the eggs, water, and pinch of sea salt. Whisk and then add Chicken to bowl allowing to soak. Turn over once so well coated.
- In another wide bowl, add both panko and Italian breadcrumbs, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Stir until combined.
- Place chicken in breadcrumb mixture and dredge all sides so completely covered. Transfer chicken to frying pan. Allow to cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes – until golden. Turn over and do another 3-4 minutes until golden. Chicken will NOT be cooked through all the way. Transfer to paper towel lined plate.
- Line a baking dish with about 1/3 cup tomato sauce. Then add chicken. Try not to allow chicken breasts to touch or be crowded in pan.
- Top with about 1/3 cup of sauce and then sprinkle 1/3 cup vegan parmesan cheese. Bake in oven for 12-14 minutes – uncovered. Remove from oven allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
- In the meantime, cook pasta according to directions on box. Should be around 9-11 minutes (around the same time it takes to finish cooking the chicken).
- Portion out spaghetti and top with about ¼ cup of sauce. Then top with chicken.
Optional: Sprinkle with Nutritional Yeast or Vegan Mozzarella/Parmesan Cheese
