Lightly spray a little more oil on top and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.

Dump-and-Bake Healthy Chicken Parmesan

chicken breasts (about 24 ounces total) or 6 chicken cutlets

(16 ounce) jar marinara sauce

mozzarella,

Italian seasoning,

Salt and pepper,

Basil herbs,

pasta,

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Spray a large baking dish (about 9-inch by 13-inch) with cooking spray. Spread half of the marinara sauce in the bottom of the dish. Add the chicken on top of the sauce. Sprinkle chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, to taste.

Pour remaining sauce over chicken. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. If you are using larger chicken breasts you will need to increase the baking time to at least 30-35 minutes.

Remove foil, place mozzarella slices and grated Parmesan on top of chicken. Return chicken to the oven (uncovered) for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Chicken parmesan

chicken breasts

Salt and black pepper

all-purpose flour

eggs

breadcrumbs

panko bread crumbs

mozzarella shredded

Parmesan

oz Marinara I use Rao’s

parsley

basil and parsley leaves

Preheat oven to 425F. Cut the chicken breasts down the middle then pound into thin fillets.

Whisk the eggs together well with a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl combine flour with a teaspoon of salt and ½ tsp pepper then whisk together and set aside. In a third bowl combine the breadcrumbs with ½ cup grated parmesan and mix together.

Dredge each breast in the flour and tap off excess, then dip in the egg and let excess drip off. Dredge on both sides in the bread crumbs and press down so the breadcrumbs stick and form a nice layer.

Pour the olive oil in a large sauté pan and heat over high heat until you see the oil shimmering. Add 2-3 chicken breasts to the pan at a time and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.

Transfer to a baking sheet and top each breast with ⅓-½ cup marinara sauce, a generous sprinkle of mozzarella, and a tablespoon of Parmesan.

Bake in the oven until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and golden, 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with basil and parsley leaves. Serve over spaghetti.

Healthy Baked Chicken Parmesan

This chicken parmesan is smothered in an easy marinara sauce, topped with fresh mozzarella and packed with plenty of fresh basil. It&#039;s also completely baked in the oven!

Basil Leaves, (finely diced (plus extra to serve))

Garlic, (minced/finely diced)

Onion, (finely diced)

tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

tsp Dried Oregano

Salt & Black Pepper, (to taste)

Sugar ((optional))

Chicken Breasts, (brought close to room temp)

Panko Breadcrumbs ((see notes))

Flour

wedges of Fresh Mozzarella ((approx 7 ounces 200 grams))

Eggs, (beaten)

Butter

tsp EACH: Salt, Garlic Powder

tsp Black Pepper

Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs: In a large pan over medium heat melt in 1 heaped tbsp butter. Add Panko breadcrumbs and coat in the butter. Continue to toast the breadcrumbs, using a wooden spoon to move them about frequently, until nice and golden. Pour into 1 of your shallow dishes and leave to cool.

Marinara Sauce

Marinara Sauce: In that now empty pan, heat warm 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add in onion and fry until it begins to soften and just begins to pick up colour. Add garlic and fry another 1-2mins. Pour in passata and shake the jar out with a splash of water. Add in basil, oregano and seasoning to taste. Depending on the quality of your tomatoes you may need to add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity. Leave on a gentle simmer for 20mins, or until nicely thickened.

Pound Chicken

Pound Chicken: Lay cling film over chicken breast and pinch around it (just so no juices escape). Pound until they&#039;re around 1/4-1/2&quot; thick. You want them as thin as you can get them without the breast breaking apart. Slice off any stray pieces around the edges.

Coat Chicken

Coat Chicken: In a small pot combine 1 tsp salt &amp; garlic powder, 3/4 tsp oregano and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Pour half of this into a shallow dish along with your flour, and the other half in a shallow dish with the toasted breadcrumbs and parmesan. One by one coat a breast in the  seasoned flour, then into egg, then into the seasoned breadcrumb/parmesan mixture. Really make sure you completely coat the chicken at each stage, namely the last stage. Place on a lightly oiled wired rack above a baking tray. Repeat with remaining breasts.

Bake

Bake (see notes for frying): Bake in the oven at 425F/220C for 10-12mins until the chicken begins to crisp, take out and carefully flip. Rotate tray and place back in the oven for another 5-10mins or until the chicken is golden crispy. At this point it should just be cooked through.

Top Chicken

Top Chicken: Take chicken off wire rack and place on the tray underneath. Spread over a good dollop of sauce, top with two wedges of mozzarella each, then sprinkle with parmesan. Place back under the grill and broil on high until the cheese goes golden and gooey.

Serve

Serve: sprinkle over fresh basil and serve over spaghetti or with chips/fries and side salad!

Easy Chicken Parmesan Recipe

boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 ½ lbs. total)

Kosher salt and pepper

eggs,

garlic salt

parsley Parmesan cheese

Optional, pasta

Preheat oven to 400°F.

If your chicken breasts are particularly thick and large, cut them in half lengthwise. Working with one chicken breast at a time, place the chicken in between two pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to ¼-inch thickness. Generously season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Place flour in a shallow bowl and season the flour with salt and pepper. In a separate shallow bowl, combine eggs and garlic salt. In a third shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.

Working with one piece of chicken at a time, lightly coat both sides of the chicken with the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip the chicken in the egg, shake again, and then coat with the Parmesan breadcrumbs.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add 2 pieces of the chicken and cook until the coating is crispy and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove to a sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and 2 chicken breasts.

Transfer the sheet pan to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer reads 165°F, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove from the oven and spoon marinara sauce on top of each piece of chicken. Sprinkle with mozzarella and return to the oven until the cheese melts, about 2 more minutes.

Spicy Vodka Chicken Parmesan is made with sliced jarred hot cherry peppers, vodka sauce, fresh mozzarella, and breaded chicken cutlets. Bake or air fry them!

Spicy Vodka Chicken Parmesan

vodka sauce (I used 365 jarred vodka sauce)

olive oil spray

chicken breasts (halved lengthwise to make 4 (16 oz total))

mozzarella cheese (4 ounces total)

cherry peppers

Heat the vodka sauce and add a little water to thin if it’s too thick.

Pound the thicker end of the chicken lightly to make thinner. Season with salt and pepper.

Place in the egg, then into the breadcrumbs and pat well with the back of a fork.

Shake and transfer to the air fryer basket or oven. Repeat with remaining cutlets.

Spray both sides of the chicken with oil then air fryer 400F 7 to 8 minutes, turning halfway, in batches as needed.

Spoon the vodka sauce over the cutlets then top with half of the cherry peppers.

Top each cutlet with 1 ounce mozzarella, then sprinkle with remaining spicy cherry peppers. Air fry 300F until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot.

Air Fryer Method:

Place foil on a sheet pan. Preheat oven to 450F.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and cooked through in the center. No need to turn.

Top each cutlet with 1 ounce mozzarella, then sprinkle with remaining spicy cherry peppers.

Bake until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Oven Method:

If you need a family-friendly weeknight dish, you’ll love these baked Chicken Tenders Parmesan. My family loved it!

Chicken Tenders Parmesan

chicken tenders (1 1/4 lbs)

eggs (beaten)

breadcrumbs (1/2 gets tossed)

mozzarella

basil leaves (for garnish)

Preheat oven to 425F. Line a sheet pan with foil and spray.

Season chicken with salt. Place egg in a shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

Dip chicken in the egg, then into the breadcrumb mixture and shake off excess and place on a sheet pan.

Spray both sides of the chicken generously with oil.

Bake the chicken 18 minutes flipping halfway until cooked through. It’s ok if it’s not crispy, it’s going to get covered in marinara anyway.

Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking pan, arrange the chicken strips. Spread the marinara sauce over the chicken and top with the mozzarella and Parmesan.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until marinara is hot and the cheese is melted. Top with basil.

chicken breasts (About 1 pound of chicken total)

parmesan cheese (fresh grated)

oregano

black pepper

Line a baking sheet with foil, brush foil with olive oil.  Adjust oven rack so that is in the second from the top space. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Cut the chicken breasts in half and pound to even thickness: Cut through the middle of the chicken breast as if you are going to butterfly it (cutting it open like a book), but cut all the way through to make two equal sized pieces.

After cutting the chicken breasts in half, place them in a gallon sized zip top bag in an even layer, seal it, then pound them to an even thickness using a&nbsp; meat pounder or a rolling pin.  You can also place the chicken breasts between two layers of cling wrap instead of a zip top bag if you prefer.

Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then season with salt and pepper.

In one shallow dish, mix together panko bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper.

In another shallow dish, whisk one egg.

Dip one chicken breast into the egg, then into the bread crumb mixture.  Ensure chicken breast is fully coated in the crumb mixture, and gently press with your hand do help the crumbs stick to the chicken.  Place chicken breast on prepared baking sheet, repeat with remaining pieces of chicken.
