How to Make Chicken Parmesan

START: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prep three dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and parsley.

STEP ONE: Pound chicken breasts to 1/2 inch thick. If necessary, you can cut large breasts in half.

PRO TIP: Place the chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap to eliminate mess.

STEP TWO: Dip chicken in flour, then eggs, then bread crumb mix make sure its well coated in each step.

STEP THREE: Cook in olive oil in a large pan, browning on each side, which should take about four minutes per side.

STEP FOUR: Place one cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 913 dish, then lay the chicken on top. Divide the remaining marinara sauce across the top of each piece of chicken, then top with mozzarella cheese.

How Long to Bake Chicken Parmesan

STEP FIVE: Bake for 25-30 minutes until internal chicken temperature reaches 165 degrees. You can top with fresh chopped basil before serving over spaghetti.

PRO TIP: You can serve over any type of pasta you have on hand, or egg noodles, spaghetti squash, zucchini noodles, or even mashed potatoes!

STORING CHICKEN PARMESAN

FRIDGE:You can store chicken in the fridge for 2-3 days and then reheat in the oven at 325 degrees.

FREEZER:After baking and cooling, you can freeze for up to three months. I recommend wrapping well in plastic wrap and then placing them inside a freezer-safe bag for easy storage.
