![]() ![]() You get perfectly brown “fried” chicken breasts and crispy chicken parmesan. I find it easier to flip the chicken when I leave the egg wash out. However, if you want a thicker breadcrumb coating, dipping the chicken breast in a beaten egg before dredging in the flour will help. However, I don’t find that necessary when baking chicken parmesan in the oven. Some chicken parmesan recipes call for an egg wash to help the breadcrumbs stick to the chicken.If you don’t have Italian seasoning, then ½ teaspoon of dried oregano and ½ teaspoon of dried basil.In my experience, they don’t coat the chicken, and the coating falls off as it bakes. I do not recommend using Panko bread crumbs.Chicken breasts work best for parmesan, but you can use boneless chicken thighs if that’s all you have.All chicken breasts should be the same size and thickness to ensure everything bakes evenly.So, regardless of the type of cheese used, make sure to portion it out before adding it to the chicken and sauce. Cheese can add a lot of extra fat and calories if you’re not intentional with the amount. It’s not chicken parmesan without cheese I used shredded mozzarella or slices of fresh mozzarella. My favorite jarred sauces are Rao Marinara Sauce and Thrive Market Sicilian Gravy. I strongly recommend using a high-quality spaghetti sauce if you don’t use homemade. For this chicken parmesan recipe, you’ll need ¾ cup of store-bought or homemade marinara sauce. Some baked chicken parmesan recipes call for cooking spray, but olive oil works best to achieve a flavorful crispy coating. Coating the baking sheet with olive oil will keep the chicken from sticking and give the chicken a nice brown “fried” look and taste. Since we are trying to make this a healthy chicken parmesan recipe, we will skip the frying part. A traditional chicken parmesan recipe is fried in oil and smothered in sauce and cheese. If you use store-bought seasoned Italian breadcrumbs, stir in some grated cheese to elevate the flavor. So, to keep the recipe clean, I purchase unseasoned whole-grain breadcrumbs and then mix in the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, parmesan cheese, salt, and ground black pepper to create homemade Italian breadcrumbs. Seasoned breadcrumbs often have additives, flavors, and preservatives. When creating a healthier version of a classic, the flavor is everything. Using a meat tenderizer, I will pound thicker breasts into cutlets this helps to tenderize the chicken and reduces the cooking time for parmesan chicken. You can also use chicken tenders. ![]()
