Favorite Oven-Baked Chicken Parmesan

You should probably mix some shredded Parmesan cheese in with the breadcrumbs.

Thats the way I make it, not exactly, but for the most part. Nice and simple but still tasty. I use a doctored pasta sauce from home, though, and and also use the parm in the bread crumbs like Janet mentioned.

I tried this last night it was a big hit with my husband. I found that I had to cook the chicken a bit longer the suggested time. It looked great and smelled good when I pulled it out of the oven. I also added Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumbs and it tasted wonderful. Thanks.

The recipe is very good; however, I thought to myself that if it's "Parmesan chicken"... then... despite the Mozzarella cheese... it needed the "Parmesan cheese"... so I went ahead and added it in the last 5 minutes on top of the chicken... AND IT TASTED GREAT!

Yeah 30 minutes total on the meat is not long enough at all! 3 of my chicken breasts were still completely pink. Still a good meal though just needs to cook longer.

Hi Cole,

Just wondering - did you preheat your oven before you started timing it?

I am making this tonight because I hate to cook chicken on stove then put in oven. I always use the skinless breast tenderloins so they don't take forever to cook like the regular size chicken breasts!

 Christina (Pennsylvania) says:
I think they want you to cut the chicken breasts in half before breading and cooking. "Split breasts" if you bought whole. This should decrease your cooking time to what they say - about 20 min plus the ten should do it.

 Chris (Maryland) says:
The problem is your chicken breasts are too thick. Get a meat hammer and pound them to about half an inch thick then cut them down to the size you want (one large breast usually makes 2 good size pieces when pounded down) . Hit the eggs, then the crumbs. If you really want them crispy take them through the eggs and crumbs a second time. If you dont soak them in the sauce you will have some of the crispiest chicken parm you've ever tasted. Just heat the sauce on the stove and pour it on before you serve it.

You might want to put slices of mozzarella on top of the chicken and then top again with shredded parmesan.

My 17 yr. old loved it! I opted to use a spicy marinara, and will try the parm with the bread crumbs next time. Thanks for sharing.

I made half breaded and half not breaded and both were great! The kids loved it which is always a plus! Highly suggest for a quick weeknight meal.

Made this at the firehouse for 9 guys. Went over real well. Used the suggestions of the previous posts by adding cheese to the bread crumbs and butterflied the chicken breasts. Also added a slice of prosciutto on top of the chicken when I put on the sauce and mozzarella cheese. Definitely gonna make this one again.
