heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.

Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.

Dredge the chicken in breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Cook the chicken until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and top with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.

Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.

In a separate pot, boil water and cook the penne pasta until al dente.

In the same skillet, sauté garlic and onion until fragrant.

Add vodka and simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce.

Stir in heavy cream and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Combine the cooked pasta with the vodka sauce and toss to coat.

Serve the chicken parmesan over a bed of vodka pasta, garnished with fresh basil.
