Creating Chicken Parmesan Pasta is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta cooks, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This ensures they cook evenly.

3. Set Up Breading Station: In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs in the third. Season the flour and breadcrumbs with salt and pepper.

4. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing down to adhere.

5. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

6. Combine Ingredients: In the same skillet, pour in the marinara sauce and heat until simmering. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat evenly.

7. Assemble the Dish: Slice the cooked chicken breasts and place them on top of the pasta. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan over the chicken and pasta.

8. Melt the Cheese: Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit on low heat for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.

9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
