½ cup panko bread crumbs

QUICK BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN



Quick Baked Chicken Parmesan image

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



Quick Chicken Parmesan image

This meal is quick and easy, so simple! I find it pleases even the pickiest of my little ones!

Provided by Dawn Ballou

Categories     Pasta

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pkg breaded chicken patties
1 lb spaghetti
1 jar(s) favorite marinara sauce
1 pkg shredded mozerella cheese

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.
