Baked Chicken Parmesan Recipe
Description
Baked Chicken Parmesan Recipe uses thin chicken breasts that are dipped in melted butter and then coated with a blend of panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and garlic salt for a flavorful crust. After baking at 400°F, each breast is topped with Ragù sauce, shredded mozzarella, and basil before a short final bake to melt the cheese. The panko provides a crunchier texture compared to traditional breadcrumbs. Serving the chicken over cooked orzo pasta complements the dish by soaking up extra sauce and creating a hearty meal.
The baking method yields a less oily dish than frying, while still allowing the cheese topping to become golden and bubbly. The choice of garlic salt with parsley flakes adds a mild herbal dimension. The recipe's straightforward preparation suits a home-cooked dinner where a breaded chicken entree with tomato sauce and cheese is desired.
