EASY BAKE CHICKEN PARMESAN (NO BREADING) RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Easy Bake Chicken Parmesan (No Breading) Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by myoung

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (10 2/3 ounce) bottle light Italian dressing
1/3 cup light ranch salad dressing
1 1/3 tablespoons olive oil
3 1/3 tablespoons minced garlic, divided (I used the pre-minced stuff from the jar)
1 1/2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese, divided (not the stuff in the green jar)
2/3 tablespoon dried parsley
Olive oil flavored cooking spray
1/4 cup finely chopped white onion
1 (5 1/3 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (4 ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons dried basil, divided
2 tablespoons dried oregano, divided
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon black pepper
2/3 bay leaf
1 cup 2% mozzarella cheese, grated

Steps:

  • The morning or the night before serving, combine Italian dressing, ranch dressing, 3 tablespoons minced garlic and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large zip lock bag. Squish bag around to combine all ingredients. Add chicken breasts to bag, close and squish until they are well coated in the dressing mixture. Put the bag in bowl (to prevent spills) and refrigerate all day or overnight up 24 hours. When ready to cook, Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit. Then mix 2 cups Parmesan cheese, with parsley, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the basil and oregano (each). Spray a large baking dish (big enough for all six breasts) with olive oil cooking spray. Remove chicken from baggie one by one and "dredge" in the cheese and spice mixture, until thoroughly coated in cheese mixture. Then place chicken in a single layer in the dish. When all chicken is coated, place chicken in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes (or until the internal temp is 155 degrees fahrenheit. While chicken bakes, in a large non stick sauce pan, make the sauce. Spray sauce pan with olive oil cooking spray (or use 1 tablespoon olive oil but do not use another flavor spray). Then saute onions and remaining garlic until tender and onions are translucent. Add tomato paste and tomato sauce to garlic and onions. Stir until smooth. Then add the remaining, oregano and basil and the other spices including the bay leaf. (At this point if sauce looks to thick for your liking add 1 tomato sauce can of water) Allow to simmer for the remainder of the baking time until you need it. When chicken has baked 20 minutes, remove from oven and top each breast with sauce (to your liking, we cover the whole thing) then top with 1/4 cup of Mozzarella cheese (again to your liking) put baking dish back into the oven for 10 more minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Then switch your broiler on to brown cheese (optional). Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve it up, I have never had anyone not finish this!

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.

CHICKEN PARMESAN BITE-BAKE



Chicken Parmesan Bite-Bake image

Okay it sounds silly, right? I find it hard to fry the chicken breasts because they're different thicknesses from one end to the other. I just cut them into bite sized cubes and continue on with the recipe. My mom likes it with pasta under it, but I really just like it with a nice salad and some cheesey bread. Add as much or as little as you like; this is just a basic, tasty recipe. Enjoy. :o)

Provided by NicolinaSurel

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 chicken breasts, boneless skinless, cubed into bite sized pieces
newman's own marinara sauce (or whichever one you're comfortable with)
1 (14 ounce) can tomatoes, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil, and extra to fry chicken in
1 pinch dried oregano
breadcrumbs
flour
egg wash (eggs beaten in water or milk)
mozzarella cheese
parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
angel hair pasta (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut chicken into cubes. Lay out flour, egg wash, and bread crumbs in an assembly line. Season bread crumbs with some Oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken cubes in flour, egg, and bread crumbs respectfully. Coat the bottom of your pan in olive oil and fry until done.
  • Saute onion and garlic in the tablespoons of olive oil and butter in a medium sauce pan. Add the jar of sauce. Heat until simmering. Add the can of tomatoes, perhaps some canned or jarred mushrooms, and the oregano. Salt and pepper to taste. Heat through.
  • In a cake pan or ramekins or whatever oven safe dish you have handy, layer the chicken, sauce, and cheeses until evenly covered and distributed. Cook in the oven until the cheese is melted and the sauce has thickened (about thirty minutes).
  • Enjoy. Serve with pasta, a salad, cottage cheese, or steamed veggies. :).

Tips:

  • For a crispy chicken crust, be sure to pat the chicken breasts dry before dredging them in the Parmesan mixture.
  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
  • To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a large skillet or a Dutch oven.
  • Serve the Parmesan chicken bake with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
