A comforting and healthier version of Chicken Parmesan, baked to perfection with a crispy coating, marinara sauce, and melted mozzarella.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds chicken breast
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 1.5 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Place each piece between plastic wrap and pound them to about ¼ inch thick.
  2. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Set Up Coating Bowls: In a bowl, add the whole wheat flour. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, pepper, dried basil, and dried parsley.
  4. Bread the Chicken: Coat each chicken cutlet in the flour, dip it into the egg mixture, and then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.
  5. Bake the Chicken: Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through for an even crisp.
  6. Add the Finishing Touches: Once baked, top each chicken piece with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella. Broil for about 2 minutes, just until the cheese melts and bubbles.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your Baked Chicken Parmesan over pasta or a fresh salad. Dig in and savor every bite!

Notes

Make sure to use fresh herbs if you have them, as they can elevate the dish’s flavor. Enjoy with garlic bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
