This baked chicken Parmesan is a lighter version of the traditional chicken Parmesan as I skip the pan-frying in oil and instead bake breaded chicken breasts in the oven, then top with sauce and cheese. My family's not big on lots of sauce and cheese, so I just use a little to flavor the dish. Feel free to add more if you like, but it's excellent as-is. Serve chicken over pasta with additional sauce.

Ingredients

  • canola oil cooking spray
  • 0.5 cups water
  • 1 egg , beaten
  • 1.5 cups bread crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese , divided
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 6 skinless , boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 cups spaghetti sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Whisk water and egg together in a bowl until smooth. Combine bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, thyme, and garlic powder in a separate bowl.

  3. 3

    Dip each chicken breast in egg mixture, allowing excess egg to drip back into bowl. Coat each chicken breast in bread crumb mixture, shaking off excess.

  4. 4

    Repeat dipping each coated chicken breast in egg mixture and the bread crumb mixture for a double-coating and place in the prepared baking dish. Spray breaded chicken breasts with cooking spray.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

  6. 6

    Pour spaghetti sauce over each chicken breast and top each with mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese.

  7. 7

    Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the cheeses are melted, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  8. 8

    Serve over pasta.
