This is an easy chicken parmesan that is completely baked in the oven - no browning in oil. I do use a tiny spray of margarine over the top before baking.

Time 1h

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 eggs, beaten
0.5 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1/3 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Dip each chicken piece into eggs; coat with bread crumbs.
  • Place into casserole dish (sprayed with nonstick spray).
  • Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
  • Remove chicken and pour marinara sauce into bottom of dish.
  • Lay chicken over the sauce and sprinkle the two cheeses on the pieces of chicken.
  • Bake an additional 20 minutes until cooked through.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese. The flavor of the Parmesan cheese will shine through in the finished dish, so it's important to use a high-quality cheese that you enjoy the taste of. Look for a Parmesan cheese that is aged for at least 12 months, as this will give it a more complex and flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breast is a delicate meat, and it can easily be overcooked. To prevent this, cook the chicken over medium heat and use a meat thermometer to ensure that it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Parmesan chicken is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include pasta, rice, roasted vegetables, or a side salad.

Conclusion:

Parmesan chicken is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great weeknight dinner option, and it's also perfect for potlucks and parties. With its crispy Parmesan coating and tender, juicy chicken, Parmesan chicken is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
