A comforting and guilt-free way to enjoy the classic flavors of chicken parmesan without frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (fresh grated)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella
  • 2 tablespoons minced parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Position your oven rack to the second from the top.
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush it with olive oil to keep the chicken from sticking.
  3. Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally, then pound them evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
  4. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
  5. Combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
  6. Beat the egg in another dish until well mixed.
  7. Dip each chicken piece first in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing carefully to adhere well.
  8. Arrange the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
  9. Flip the chicken over gently, then pour about 1/4 cup of marinara sauce over each piece. Generously top with shredded mozzarella.
  10. Return the baking sheet to the oven and turn on the broiler. Broil for 2 to 4 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Notes

Serve with spaghetti, salad, or garlic bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
