Baked Chicken Parmesan

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425F. Grease a sheet pan with 2 tablespoon olive oil and set aside.

Step 2

Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make 4 fillets total. Pound to even thickness if desired.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt & pepper. In a small bowl, whisk the egg.

Step 4

Dip each chicken fillet into the egg mixture then into the bread crumb mixture, coating both sides well. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake for 15 minutes then flip onto the other side and top each chicken with 3-4 tablespoons of marinara sauce and a generous handful of mozzarella cheese (or 1 fresh slice).

Step 6

Return to the oven and bake an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through. Brown under broiler for 2-3 minutes if desired.
