Classic Baked Chicken Parmesan

March 6, 2018 By Patricia 34 Comments

Nothing beats a classic dish. Unless, of course, you can make it a little easier to prepare without sacrificing flavor. That’s the case with Classic Baked Chicken Parmesan. There’s no frying required: just pop it in the oven and bring on dinner!

Classic Baked Chicken Parmesan is a great dish for any night. You'll love the goodness that is Classic Baked Chicken Parmesan!

Chicken parmesan (also known as chicken parmigiana) is a restaurant favorite, and for good reason. It’s a delicious dish, and now this version is so easy to make at home. Served with pasta and a green salad, it becomes the crown jewel of a fabulous meal.

I removed a step in the process of making this classic baked chicken parmesan: the frying. You’re welcome!

Classic Baked Chicken Parmesan is a great dish for any meal. Enjoy Classic Baked Chicken Parmesan any night of the week.

Have I ever told you that I have a little bit of an aversion to frying? I did make these Fried Green Tomato BLT Sandwiches and these Fried Pickles with Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing (so good, by the way), so maybe I’m getting over my thing about frying. 

The way I look at it, though, why fry when you don’t reallllly have to? That’s one thing I love about this dish. All you have to do is prepare, and bake away!

Classic Baked Chicken Parmesan is a great dish to serve along with your favorite pasta! Classic Baked Chicken Parmesan makes a great meal.

Chicken is such an easy ingredient to reach for when you’re hungry, but sometimes it gets a bad rap for being boring. But it doesn’t have to be! Take my Chicken Madeira, for example. It’s soooo flavorful and easy to make.

Maybe you’d like my Moroccan Skillet Chicken with Green Beans? It’s also easy to make, and big on flavor. Those are just a few examples of how to shake up your chicken routine a little.

Classic Baked Chicken Parmesan is, well, a classic! Classic Baked Chicken Parmesan is a restaurant favorite to make at home!

Don’t settle for boring chicken now that you have this Classic Baked Chicken Parmesan recipe (and a few others). There’s no messy frying involved and you still get big flavor with this dish. (Look at that crispy cheese around the edges!)

Ingredients

  • 4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded thin if they are thick)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to season the chicken
  • 2 slices Mozzarella cheese, cut into pieces (or about 1/4 shredded Mozzarella)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup favorite marinara sauce
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9x12-inch baking dish with the nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Add the flour, egg, and panko to three separate shallow bowls. Add the parsley and garlic powder to the panko and mix to combine. Season the flour with the salt and black pepper and mix to combine.
  3. Place the baking dish near the bowls. One at a time, dip each chicken breast into the flour to coat both sides, then the egg mixture (allow the excess to drip into the bowl), and finally, the panko. Use your fingers to lightly press the panko onto the chicken.
  4. Bake the chicken for about 20 minutes or until done (use a food thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees F).
  5. Remove from the oven. Evenly divide the sauce and spoon over the top of the chicken. Evenly divide the Parmesan cheese and sprinkle over the top of the chicken, followed by the Mozzarella cheese.
  6. Return to the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese turns golden.
  7. Sever warm with a side of pasta.

    I probably shouldn't have read this before I go to the grocery store, because guess what I want to eat now? Lol! Either way, I'm doing my best to get back into the habit of cooking and always appreciate the more simple of recipes.

    Chicken parmesan is definitely one of my favorites. I love to make my own bread crumbs for it. One of my favorite ways of serving chicken parmesan is top of zoodles with spaghetti sauce.

Welcome to Grab a Plate!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
