Baked Chicken Parmesan
A healthier version of classic chicken parmesan
Ingredients
- 4 Chicken breasts 4 oz each
- 1 Cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 4 tbsp Butter melted
- 4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees
- Melt 4 Tbsp of butter in a medium to large pan
- Place chicken breasts into Ziplock bags, (I usually do 2-3 breasts per bag depending on the size) and tenderize until thin and even
- Dip each chicken breast first into the melted butter and then into the breadcrumbs, coating them lightly
- Sprinkle shredded parmesan onto each breaded chicken breast
- Place the breaded chicken breasts onto the pan and cook for approximately 18 mins
- Remove the chicken breasts from oven and add a spoonful or two of marinara sauce as well as one slice of mozzarella cheese to each
- Set oven to broil and place chicken breasts back into the oven for a minute or two. Keep an eye on them and remove when cheese is melted.
- Remove from oven, plate with your favorite vegetable or salad and enjoy!
