What You Need

cups whole wheat rotini pasta

RITZ Reduced Fat Crackers, crushed (about 1/2 cup crumbs)

Tbsp. KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese

tsp. dried oregano leaves

egg white

small boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 lb.)

cups tomato-basil spaghetti sauce, divided

cup KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Make It

COOK pasta in large saucepan as directed on package. Meanwhile, combine cracker crumbs, Parmesan cheese and oregano in pie plate. Lightly beat egg white in separate pie plate. Dip chicken in egg white, then roll in crumb mixture until evenly coated. Set aside.

SPRAY large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat on medium heat. Add chicken; cook 5 min. on each side or until cooked through (165ºF). Spoon 1 cup of the spaghetti sauce over chicken; top with mozzarella cheese. Cover skillet with lid. Reduce heat to low; simmer 3 min. or until sauce is hot and cheese is melted.

MEANWHILE, drain pasta; return to pan. Add remaining 1 cup spaghetti sauce; toss to coat. Cook on medium heat 2 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Spoon onto serving plates; top with the chicken.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Makeover - How We Did It

We coated a hot skillet with cooking spray and cooked the chicken until crisp instead of frying it in oil like traditional recipes. This small change plus using reduced fat mozzarella cheese will save you 100 calories and 13 grams of fat, including 2.5 grams of saturated fat, per serving.

I also coated my chicken with dry italian seasoning mix in a packet. I added mushrooms to the pasta and sauce. Great!

This was really good, I followed recipe almost exactly, just added more seasonings and regular pasta.

I don't normally rate recipes, but this one was so good! Even my 8-year-old son who hates chicken ate every bite! I used more crackers...about 20. In addition to the oregano, I also added about 4 shakes of Italian herb spices. My family likes a lot of spaghetti sauce, so I used 1-cup on the chicken per the recipe, and the balance of a 26 oz. jar on the pasta. I served with a big salad and hot bread. My family loved it.

My husband and I love chicken parmesan, but we thought the only place we could enjoy was at a fancy italian restaurant, until I found this recipe.My husband couldn't believe I made this at home! It's a new family favorite. Thanks Kraft.
