baked chicken parmesan
The flavor of this dish was OUTSTANDING! My little culinary queens from culinary camp used the marinara sauce they made the day before (it was a 5-day camp) to make this baked chicken parmesan and I am sure it was their marinara sauce which made this dish shine. My only complaint was the chicken. I have always bought Foster Farms chicken from Costco. I got a really bad batch that was tough and stringy. Had we known we would've pounded out the chicken to tenderize it. The whole bag was that way. Disappointing.
baked chicken parmesan
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I used the thin sliced from Costco)
3/4 cup seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter, melted
handful of mozzarella cheese
1 cup classic marinara sauce (use the homemade recipe found on this blog!!)
cooking spray
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.
Combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese on a plate. Melt the butter in a shallow bowl.
Dip each chicken breast into the butter (both sides) then dip both sides into the breadcrumb mixture. Place each piece in the casserole dish.
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
Remove chicken from the oven and spoon some marinara sauce over each piece of chicken and top each chicken breast with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake 5 more minutes until the cheese is melted.
