A delightful baked chicken parmesan with a crispy crust and gooey cheese, perfect for weeknight dinners or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Set up your breading station: In a shallow dish, add the flour. In another dish, whisk the eggs. In a third dish, mix panko breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, ensuring it’s fully coated. Next, dip it into the egg mixture and then press it into the breadcrumb mixture until completely covered. Repeat this for all chicken breasts.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the breaded chicken cutlets for about 2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
  5. Arrange the browned cutlets on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon roughly 1/4 cup of marinara sauce over each cutlet and top with slices of mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan cheese.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve immediately over pasta, with extra marinara, and a fresh garden salad.

Notes

For a lighter version, consider using skinless chicken thighs or eggplant slices instead of chicken.
