  • 1/2 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 ounces each)
  • 1 pound whole wheat spaghetti
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 1/2 cups marinara sauce

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 375°F.

  • Place chicken on a wire rack on a baking sheet. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 165° F.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Cook Fresh Express® Baby Spinach in batches in a large skillet coated with cooking spray for one to two minutes or until wilted. Add garlic and marinara sauce; bring to a simmer, then reduce to low heat. When pasta is ready, drain and then add to the marinara sauce. Keep warm.
