This recipe is based off of a Cooking Light recipe, but it is not pan fried at all. You could easily double this recipe, but I cook for two, so this is perfect for us. I serve this with veggies and crescent rolls.

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, grated (the powdery kind)
2 tablespoons Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 (5 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/4 inches
3/4 cup spaghetti sauce (tomato-basil is good)
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Lightly spray a pie plate or a foil-lined baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
Combine Parmesan, breadcrumbs, and salt in a shallow dish (I use a paper plate). Place egg in a separate shallow dish.
Dip each side of each chicken breast in egg, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture. Place on prepared pan.
Bake for 18 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until done.
Take the chicken out and switch the oven to BROIL.
Divide the sauce evenly and pour over each piece of chicken. Sprinkle evenly with the mozzarella cheese.
Broil 2 minutes or until the cheese melts.

Tips and Conclusion

To ensure your chicken parmesan turns out perfectly, follow these tips:

Use a good quality, thick cut chicken breast. This will help the chicken stay juicy and flavorful.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This will help them cook evenly.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will give them a nice flavor.
Coat the chicken breasts in flour, then eggs, then breadcrumbs. This will help them get crispy.
Pan-fry the chicken breasts until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and top with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Parmesan cheese is also usually used.
Bake the chicken breasts in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
Serve the chicken parmesan with your favorite sides, such as spaghetti, mashed potatoes, or salad.
