Ingredients

• 4 frozen breaded chicken cutlets
• 1 lb cavatappi pasta
• 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 small yellow onion, diced

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook frozen chicken according to package instructions until crispy; let cool slightly, then slice into strips.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Sauté onion until translucent, about 7 minutes.
4. Add garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Stir in marinara sauce and 1 tsp salt, bringing the mixture to a low simmer.
6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat thoroughly.
7. Stir in 1/2 cup of the Parmesan until melted into the sauce.
8. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan and all of the mozzarella. Arrange sliced chicken on top.
9. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and golden, about 10-12 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
