01 Step
Recipe View
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Cook penne in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain. (15 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Meanwhile, add beaten egg whites to a shallow bowl. Place 2 cups Parmesan cheese into a second shallow bowl. (2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Dip chicken into egg whites. Press chicken into Parmesan cheese to coat both sides. Gently toss between your hands, so excess cheese falls away. Place coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. (8 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 18 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (18 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Meanwhile, heat Alfredo sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and red pepper flakes in a large saucepan over low heat. Allow sauce to simmer while you finish the remaining steps. (10 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir mushrooms and spinach in the hot skillet until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir vegetables into sauce. (5 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Place cooked penne into a serving bowl; slice chicken into small pieces and arrange over pasta. Pour sauce over pasta and chicken. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Parmesan cheese. (5 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the sauce while it simmers.
To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before coating.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will provide a richer, more nuanced flavor than pre-grated options.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spice.
