My whole family loved this dinner and it will absolutely be on repeat. The combination of crispy chicken, marinara-coated pasta, creamy burrata, basil, and Parmesan is so simple but so good.

Ingredients#

1/2 cup flour
2 eggs beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Parmesan
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper
8 ounces pasta
2 cups marinara sauce
1 ball burrata (or 2 if you want)
Fresh basil
Extra Parmesan

Instructions

Cook the pasta. Season the chicken and bread with flour, egg, and panko mixed with Parmesan. Air fry at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes until crispy. (Or bake at 425 for 18 minutes) Warm the marinara and toss with the pasta. Assemble bowls with pasta, sliced chicken, a little more Parmesan, burrata, and basil.

Save this for your next easy dinner idea.
