Why You’ll Love Baked Chicken Parmigiana
My Baked Chicken Parmigiana will be a hit for everyone at the table. This is a healthier and more streamlined way to make the favorite 🇮🇹 Italian classic, no frying required! You can make this super simple by using your favorite store-bought sauce or take some time to make a homemade version. Either way, the results are delicious: the 🍗 chicken is crispy and juicy, topped with rich 🍅 marinara, and a gooey cheesy topping that’s irresistible.
How to Prepare Baked Chicken Parmigiana
🥣 Start by creating your dredging station: a bowl of flour, a bowl of whisked eggs, and a bowl of Italian breadcrumbs. 🔪 Now, using a sharp knife, slice the chicken breasts in half and/or pound thin with a meat mallet. 🍗 Next, dip each piece of chicken into some flour, then eggs (shaking off the excess), and then breadcrumbs (on each side). 🫒 Now, line them all up in a baking dish and then drizzle each one with a touch of olive oil. 🔥 Bake the chicken in a pre-heated 400F (200C) degree oven for 15 minutes. 🌡️ Next, take them out and remove your cutlets (you can let it cool a bit because the dish will be very hot). 🍅 Now, add marinara sauce to the bottom of the dish and then arrange your cutlets back into the same dish. 🧀 Next, add more sauce on top of each one, and then add your cheese of choice. ⏲️ Bake again uncovered for 30-35 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden. 🌿 Finally, sprinkle with basil or parsley for garnish and enjoy!
