Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Whisk bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and black pepper together in a shallow bowl. Stir butter, white wine, mustard, and garlic together in another bowl.
- Dip each chicken breast half into melted butter mixture; press into bread crumb mixture to evenly coat. Place breaded chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Pat any leftover bread crumb mixture onto chicken breasts.
- Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

QUICK BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN
In this lighter version of chicken Parmesan I skip the pan-frying in oil and instead bake lightly-breaded chicken breasts in the oven, then top with sauce and cheese. My family's not big on lots of sauce and cheese, so I just use a little to flavor the dish. Feel free to add more if you like, but it's excellent as-is. Serve chicken over pasta with additional sauce.

QUICK CHICKEN PARMESAN
My mother inspired me to develop my first pasta sauce. It's tangy, simple and really satisfying. The longer it simmers, the better it gets, so keep that in mind if you have time to spare. -Danielle Grochowski, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Steps:
- 1. Bake chicken patties according to package directions.
- 2. Meanwhile, cook pasta in large saucepan according to package directions.
- 3. Top each patty with 1/3 cup marinara sauce and 1 tablespoon cheese. Bake 5 minutes more or until hot and cheese melts.
- 4. Drain pasta; return to saucepan. Add remaining sauce; toss to combine. Place pasta mixture on large platter; top with chicken. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose a quality chicken breast: Look for chicken breasts that are plump and have a slight pink color. Avoid chicken breasts that are thin or have a yellow or gray tint.
- Tenderize the chicken: Pounding the chicken breasts with a meat mallet or rolling pin will help to tenderize them and make them more evenly cooked.
- Use a good quality marinara sauce: The marinara sauce is a key component of chicken parmesan, so it's important to use a good quality sauce. Look for a sauce that is made with fresh tomatoes and has a rich flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken breasts, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the chicken breasts thoroughly: To ensure that the chicken breasts are cooked through, cook them until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Chicken parmesan is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your chicken parmesan turns out perfect every time.
