Perfectly juicy breaded chicken on top of spaghetti. Nothing beats this classic Baked Chicken Parmesan. It’s one of my favorite comfort foods.
How to make Baked Chicken Parmesan:
Step one: Start by pounding chicken to flatten. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- How to flatten chicken: I usually place my chicken in-between parchment paper and use a rolling pin to flatten slightly. This will help from chicken juice or pieces from getting all over your chicken.
Step two: Next you want to bread your chicken. Go ahead and mix together your bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and parsley flakes then place in a shallow bowl. Then in a sperate bowl whisk together your eggs. Finally in another shallow bowl whisk together flour, salt, and pepper.
Step three: Place your chicken in the flour first, then into the eggs allow the extra to drip off, and last the bread crumbs and cheese. Place prepared chicken on your baking sheet and repeat until all chicken is coated
Step four: Spray chicken heavily with nonstick cooking spray. If you would rather you can also brush oil over your chicken. Bake for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and at a safe temperature.
- This step will help your chicken stay moist. You could also use oil or melted butter and brush it onto our chicken.
Step five: Remove from oven and add 3-4 tablespoons of marinara sauce to the top of each chicken breast then evenly sprinkle on mozzarella cheese to each chicken breast. Place chicken back into the oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Step six: Meanwhile prepared spaghetti according to the package directions. Drain and then mix in marinara sauce. Serve prepared spaghetti with prepared chicken breast on top.

This is an amazing PERFECT recipe! I placed my chicken on a baking rack and placed it in a parchment paper lined baking pan. I sprayed the rack and both sides of the chicken with avocado oil and flipped my chicken once the top was brown. After flipping and just before placing the sauce and parmesean on the backside, I kicked the oven up to broil to really crisp up the crust. The chicken and oven were ready to quickly heat the sauce and melt the cheese. I also used GF Panko crumbs. The drippings from the parmesan cheese onto the payment paper were delicious!
So happy to hear that!!
Such a good recipe! Bravo!!

Just a note: your printable recipe doesn’t include mozzarella cheese but the instructions do. 😉 One more real dinner before school starts back tomorrow. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for catching that! it’s fixed now!
Why didn’t my chicken brown like yours in the picture? Did you pay get it first? Other than that, it’s a good receipe.
In my experience I find I can get it brown if I flip the chicken over about 15 minutes into baking. Make sure you spray both sides of the chicken before you bake.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing Melissa.
