Preheat oven to 400°F. Season the pounded chicken breast with a third of the salt and all the pepper. Brush mustard over both sides, then press the panko firmly onto the chicken until fully coated.
Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until the crumbs are deep golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a small baking dish. Spoon 2 tablespoons of marinara onto the center of the chicken, leaving the edges bare, and top with mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melted. Done when cooked through, 165°F.
While the chicken bakes, bring water and the remaining salt to a boil in a small pot. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 9 to 11 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
Warm the remaining marinara in the microwave for 30 seconds or in a small pan. Toss the sauce with the cooked spaghetti. Plate the pasta and top with the baked chicken.
