Baked Chicken Parmesan

Recipe originally from Gimme Delicious. Frying chicken is kinda stressful, and I often mess it up. It always comes out too oily or watery. This recipe doesn't have those problems, it's pretty good. The recipe calls for 1 tsp of salt, but I think that's a bit much (and I like salt). Maybe 1/2 a tsp is right.

Staple Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 egg

Special Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts (~1 lb)
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions

  • preheat oven to 425°F
  • grease sheet pan with olive oil
  • combine panko, parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper
  • whisk egg in small bowl
  • slice chicken breasts in half, pound to even thickness
  • dip chicken into egg, then panko mixture. Transfer to baking sheet
  • bake for 15 min
  • flip, top with 3-4 tbsp of marinara sauce and a bunch of mozz cheese
  • return to oven and bake 5-7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through
  • brown under broiler for a couple minutes if desired
