Baked Chicken Parmesan

Chick­en Parme­san is a beloved dish that brings togeth­er the per­fect com­bi­na­tion of crispy chick­en, savory mari­nara sauce, and melty cheese. While the tra­di­tion­al method of fry­ing chick­en can be a bit messy and time-con­sum­ing, bak­ing it offers a health­i­er and sim­pler alter­na­tive with­out sac­ri­fic­ing fla­vor. This deli­cious­ly crispy baked chick­en Parme­san is a great option for any­one look­ing to enjoy a clas­sic com­fort food dish with less has­sle and guilt.

To make this baked chick­en Parme­san, you’ll start with bone­less chick­en breasts, sea­soned and coat­ed in bread­crumbs, Parme­san cheese, and herbs. The chick­en is then baked until gold­en brown, cre­at­ing a crispy, crunchy crust. Next, mari­nara sauce is spooned gen­er­ous­ly over each piece, fol­lowed by a lay­er of moz­zarel­la and Parme­san cheese. The dish is baked for just a few more min­utes until the cheese is per­fect­ly melt­ed and bub­bly.
