Ingredients
LEVEL 1 (BOTTOM OF POT)
- 1 box (8 ounces) penne pasta
- 1 1/2 cups water or chicken stock
- 1 jar (24 ounces) pasta sauce of choice
LEVEL 2 (CRISPER TRAY)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup seasoned panko bread crumbs
- 4 boneless-skinless chicken breasts (5-6 ounces each)
- Kosher salt, as desired
- Ground black pepper, as desired
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella, divided
OPTIONAL TOPPING
- Parmesan cheese, as desired
- 3 Medium Bowls

Instructions
Step 1
Place all Level 1 ingredients in the pot and stir to combine. Pull out the legs on the Crisper Tray, then place the tray in the elevated position in the pot.
Step 2
To prepare a breading station, place the flour, egg, and panko in three separate medium bowls. Season the panko with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
Step 3
One at a time, dip the top of each chicken breast in the flour, then the egg, and then the panko mixture. Place the chicken breaded-side-up on the tray in the pot.
Step 4
Close the lid and flip the SmartSwitch™ to Rapid Cooker. Select SPEEDI MEALS, set temperature to 375°F, and set time to 15 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking (the unit will steam for approx. 10 to 15 minutes before crisping).
Step 5
With 5 minutes remaining, open the lid and sprinkle an even amount of mozzarella on each chicken breast. Close the lid to continue cooking.
Step 6
When cooking is complete, transfer the chicken to a plate. Then use silicone-tipped tongs to grab the center handle and remove the tray from the unit. Stir the pasta and serve warm with the chicken.
