Preheat oven to 425°F. Season chicken with half the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In a small bowl, mix panko, parmesan, oregano, and the remaining salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dip chicken into egg white, then press into panko mixture to coat.
Heat oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Spread 2 tablespoons of marinara over chicken and top with mozzarella. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until cheese is bubbly and chicken reaches 165°F.
While chicken bakes, bring water and a pinch of salt to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 minutes. Reserve a splash of pasta water, then drain.
Warm the remaining marinara in the pasta pot. Toss with pasta and the reserved water. Plate the pasta, top with chicken, and garnish with basil.
