Easy Baked Chicken Parmesan

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Baked Chicken Parmesan.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light spray with canola oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3. Step 3

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together some water and a beaten egg until the mixture is nice and smooth.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs with 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, along with a sprinkle of oregano, basil, thyme, and garlic powder for that delicious flavor boost.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to get hands-on! Take each chicken breast and dip it into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off.

6. Step 6

   Then, coat it generously in the breadcrumb mixture, shaking off any extra crumbs.

7. Step 7

   For an extra crunchy texture, feel free to repeat this dipping process: back into the egg and then into the breadcrumbs again.

8. Step 8

   Once coated, place the chicken breasts in your prepared baking dish and give the tops a light spray with cooking spray to encourage that golden finish.

9. Step 9

   Pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 40 minutes.

10. Step 10

    After that, it’s time for a flavorful twist! Pour spaghetti sauce over each chicken breast, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and the remaining Parmesan on top.

11. Step 11

    Return the dish to the oven for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

12. Step 12

    You’ll know it’s ready when an instant-read thermometer shows at least 165°F (74°C).

13. Step 13

    For a delightful meal, serve the cheesy chicken over a bed of pasta, and enjoy every bite of this comforting dish!.
