Easy Baked Chicken Parmesan

This Easy Baked Chicken Parmesan is my go-to easy dinner when I don't have anything planned because I always have all the ingredients on hand. Make it a complete Italian meal served over spaghetti with a green salad.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts If your chicken breasts are thick, butterfly them or pound them with a meat mallet so they are thinner.
  • 1/4 /4 cup butter melted
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 /2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • jar of marinara sauce
  • mozzarella cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking dish with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  2. Mix the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and garlic powder in a shallow dish. It really doesn’t matter how much Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs you have just make sure it’s equal parts. Melt butter in a shallow bowl. Dip the chicken in the melted butter, then the bread crumb mixture then place on the baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Spoon some marinara sauce over the middle of the chicken and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top for the last 5-10 minutes of baking. Serve over cooked spaghetti with more marinara sauce.
