Ingredients
- 4 large chicken breasts sliced in half to make 8 thin breasts
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- ¼ cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ¾ reduced-fat mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Combine the bread crumbs, panko bread crumbs, basil, oregano, pepper, salt, and Parmesan cheese in a shallow bowl.
- In a small bowl melt the butter.
- Dip chicken breasts in butter and then dredge both sides in the bread crumb mixture.
- Place breaded chicken onto the prepared baking sheet. Spray tops of chicken with more cooking spray. (This helps the chicken get nice and golden brown.)
- Bake for 10 minutes. Then flip the chicken over and bake for another 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove baking sheet from oven. Top each chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of marinara and then 1 1/2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven and bake for 5 more minutes.
- Remove chicken parmesan from the oven. Serve warm with salad or your favorite pasta.
