QUICK BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN



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.

Tips:

  • To ensure your chicken breasts are evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing them from the oven.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into the thickest part of the breast. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.
  • For a crispier crust, use a combination of grated Parmesan cheese and Panko breadcrumbs. The Panko breadcrumbs will help to absorb the moisture from the chicken and create a golden brown crust.
  • If you don't have Panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs. Just be sure to toast them in a pan with a little bit of butter or olive oil before using them.
  • To make the marinara sauce, you can use your favorite store-bought sauce or make your own. If you're making your own, be sure to simmer it for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
  • If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil. Just be sure to use half the amount, as dried basil is more concentrated than fresh basil.

This baked chicken parmesan is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family.
