Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 200g spaghetti
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook Spaghetti: Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Chicken: Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
  4. Season the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  5. Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the cooked spaghetti and 1 cup of marinara sauce. Toss to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in half of the mozzarella cheese.
  6. Stuff the Chicken: Place a portion of the spaghetti mixture onto each chicken breast. Roll up the chicken around the spaghetti and secure with toothpicks.
  7. Bake: Place the stuffed chicken cutlets in a baking dish. Top with the remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  8. Cook: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
