Baked Chicken Parmesan offers a healthier, delicious take on the classic dish, featuring crispy baked chicken, tangy tomato sauce, and melted mozzarella. It’s a comforting and impressive meal perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper for your baked chicken parmesan coating.
  3. In another shallow dish, whisk together eggs and milk.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated for the best baked chicken parmesan.
  5. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the coated chicken breasts for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. This step enhances the baked chicken parmesan texture.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast and top with mozzarella cheese.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This completes your easy baked chicken parmesan.
  8. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving your delicious baked chicken parmesan.

Notes

  • For extra crispy baked chicken parmesan, you can toast the breadcrumbs lightly before coating the chicken.
  • Feel free to add your favorite herbs like oregano or basil to the breadcrumb mixture for more flavor in your baked chicken parmesan.
  • Serve this baked chicken parmesan with pasta or a side salad.
