Quick Baked Chicken Parmesan image

In this lighter version of chicken Parmesan I skip the pan-frying in oil and instead bake lightly-breaded chicken breasts in the oven, then top with sauce and cheese. My family's not big on lots of sauce and cheese, so I just use a little to flavor the dish. Feel free to add more if you like, but it's excellent as-is. Serve chicken over pasta with additional sauce.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

canola oil cooking spray
½ cup water
1 egg, beaten
1 ½ cups bread crumbs
6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon garlic powder
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 cups spaghetti sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Whisk water and egg together in a bowl until smooth. Combine bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, thyme, and garlic powder in a separate bowl.
  • Dip each chicken breast in egg mixture, allowing excess egg to drip back into bowl. Coat each chicken breast in bread crumb mixture, shaking off excess. Repeat dipping each coated chicken breast in the egg mixture and the bread crumb mixture for a double-coating and place in the prepared baking dish. Spray breaded chicken breasts with cooking spray.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Pour spaghetti sauce over each chicken breast and top each with mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese. Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the cheeses are melted, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner. I like to use a combination of Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, and I add a little bit of garlic powder to the breadcrumb mixture. It's the perfect comfort food!

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in the time specified. The Parmesan crust was crispy and flavorful.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and tough, and the Parmesan cheese didn't melt properly. I won't be making this again.

I'm not a fan of chicken Parmesan, but my husband loves it. I made this recipe for him and he raved about it. He said it was the best chicken Parmesan he's ever had.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend, and then I use it to make chicken Parmesan during the week. It's a quick and easy meal that's always a hit.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the Parmesan cheese didn't melt properly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken Parmesan, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The chicken was tender and moist, and the Parmesan crust was nice and crispy. I will definitely be making this again.
