- 4 fresh chicken tenders
- Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- Your choice of spaghetti sauce
- Half a pound of spaghetti
- Olive oil
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Drizzle a little olive oil into a small baking dish and swirl it around to coat the bottom.
- Coat the Chicken: Roll the chicken tenders in the olive oil, ensuring they are lightly coated. Then, dredge them in the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help the crumbs adhere.
- Place the breaded chicken back into the baking dish.Bake to Perfection: Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.
- Cheesy Finish: Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon your favorite spaghetti sauce generously over each tender.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by a dusting of grated Pecorino Romano cheese.
- Final Bake: Return the dish to the oven and continue baking until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and just starting to turn golden brown. This should take around 10 to 15 minutes.
- Serve with Pasta: While the chicken is baking, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and toss with a bit of olive oil and a sprinkle of grated Pecorino Romano cheese.
- Serve the chicken tenders on a bed of spaghetti, drizzled with any extra sauce from the baking dish.
