Ingredients
- ½ package The Fresh Market Pasta of choice or garlic knots
- ½ jar (about 12 oz) The Fresh Market Pasta Sauce
- 8 oz The Fresh Market Shredded Cheese of choice
- 4 Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Cutlets
- ¼ c vegetable oil*
- Veggie Steamer Bag of choice
- Fresh basil*
Directions
If using pasta, cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, covered to keep warm.
Add the sauce to a medium saucepan and bring to a low simmer to warm through.
STOVETOP: Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed sauté pan over medium heat until hot, 2-3 minutes. Carefully add the chicken cutlets and pan-fry on both sides until golden brown, 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through.** Cook the chicken in batches if necessary, adding more oil as needed, so as not to crowd the pan. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
AIR FRYER: Preheat to 400°F. Cook chicken cutlets for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until cooked through.**
While chicken is cooking, microwave the veggie steamer bag according to package directions. Caution: Steamer bag will be hot and may release steam when opened.
Place cooked chicken in a single layer in a shallow baking pan and top each cutlet with a spoonful of sauce followed by an even layer of cheese. Reserve remaining sauce.
Preheat broiler to high with rack 6 inches from heating element. Broil chicken until cheese is golden brown and sauce begins to bubble, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from oven.
For Garlic Knots: (Ready to eat. Heating instructions follow, if desired.) Wrap garlic knots in foil and place in 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes until warmed through.
To Serve: Place chicken on plate and pour over remaining sauce. Top with fresh basil if desired and serve alongside veggies and garlic knots.
**Cook all meal components until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
