Instructions
1- Prepare the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl.

- Ensure the chicken is fully coated with the spices for maximum flavor.
2- Breading Process:

- Pour marinara sauce generously over each chicken breast.
- Top with sliced mozzarella and sprinkle the Italian style cheese blend.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
5- Prepare the Spaghetti:
- While the chicken bakes, cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente.
- Drain and set aside.
6- Serving:
- Serve each chicken breast over a bed of spaghetti.
