Baked Chicken Parmesan

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 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.

Recipe Notes

 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.

Spraying your chicken with a oil or butter-based nonstick cooking spray will help your chicken stay moist. You could also use oil or melted butter and brush it onto our chicken.
