Easy Baked Chicken Mozzarella

We found an alternative to breading and frying chicken that tastes great and we love!


Ingredients (for 2 servings):
2 4-oz. thin chicken breasts
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp. pepper
1 cup Ragu spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup part skim mozzarella cheese
4 oz. Barilla Plus Whole Wheat Thin Spaghetti

Directions:
1. Trim chicken.
2. Put pepper and flour in a gallon Ziploc bag. Add chicken and shake.
3. Cook chicken in a non-stick skillet with a mist of olive oil until browned on both sides.
4. Put chicken in a baking pan, add some sauce and a thin layer of cheese. Add the rest of the sauce on top.
5. Bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
6. Place on top of cooked spaghetti!

We really enjoy this meal, and the flour coating on the chicken gives it a bit of texture, making breaded or fried chicken unnecessary.
