Quick and Easy Chicken Parmesan

Step 1

To make this chicken parmesan, start by preheating your oven to 425 F.

Step 2

Next, prepare the chicken breasts. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then place them between sheets of plastic wrap and pound them thin, until they're approximately 1/2 inch in thickness. Then, season them with the kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Next, crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk them to combine.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, add the panko bread crumbs, italian bread crumbs, and parmesan cheese, and mix to combine.

Step 5

Coat the chicken breasts by first dipping them into the bowl with the egg wash, and then dipping them into the bowl with the bread crumbs. Repeat until both of the chicken breasts are fully coated in the breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Then, transfer the coated chicken breasts to a baking sheet.

Step 7

Spray the tops of the chicken breasts with cooking spray, transfer them to the oven, and bake them for 15 minutes.

Step 8

While the chicken is baking, line a separate baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the marinara sauce on top.

Step 9

Then, top with the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 10

Place the tray into the oven with the chicken and bake it for 8-10 minutes. If you want the cheese to be browned, you can broil it for just 1 minute at the end, but watch it carefully so that it doesn't burn.

Step 11

Once the time is up, remove the trays from the oven.

Step 12

Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate, then pour the marinara and cheese mixture on top.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh parsley (if desired) then serve and enjoy!
