THE BEST PARMESAN CHICKEN BAKE



The Best Parmesan Chicken Bake image

This chicken Parmesan is done casserole style (so, no breading or frying!), but still offers up that irresistible combination of tender chicken, crunchy/cheesy coating, and flavorful sauce.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed and finely chopped
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 cups prepared marinara sauce
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 (5 ounce) package garlic croutons

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Coat the bottom of a 9x13 inch casserole dish with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic and hot red pepper flakes.
  • Arrange the chicken breasts in bottom of the dish, and pour marinara sauce over chicken. Sprinkle basil over marinara sauce, and top with half the mozzarella cheese, followed by half the Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle on the croutons, then top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven until cheese and croutons are golden brown and the chicken is no longer pink inside, about 35 minutes to an hour, depending on the shape and thickness of your chicken breasts. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chicken breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a flavorful breadcrumb mixture. The breadcrumb mixture in this recipe includes Parmesan cheese, garlic, and parsley. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish. Make sure there is enough space between the chicken breasts so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the chicken breasts until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.

Conclusion:

Baked chicken breasts with Parmesan garlic crust is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The chicken breasts are tender and juicy, with a crispy Parmesan garlic crust. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
