Quick Baked Chicken Parmesan

Servings:

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

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.
