Instructions
- Using a meat mallet, pound chicken breasts to ¾ to 1-inch thick and cut into 4-ounce portions.
- In three separate shallow bowls add the flour, ¼ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper to the first bowl, whisk the egg and milk in the second bowl, and toss together the cheese, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, and ½ tsp. salt in the third bowl.
For the Assembly:
- Take one chicken breast and lightly coat it in the flour, dip it into the egg wash, and then coat it with the Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
- Repeat the above step with the remaining pieces of chicken.
How to Cook:
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat, or enough to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Once oil starts to sizzle, place all 6 pieces of chicken in the skillet, being careful not to overlap any of them.
- Sear chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Pour spaghetti sauce over chicken and pick up each breast so it gets underneath.
- Cover skillet with a lid and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 8-10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature is 165°.
- Just before serving sprinkle 1-ounce of mozzarella cheese on each piece of chicken.
- After cheese has melted serve chicken Parmesan with spaghetti noodles, roasted spaghetti squash, or zucchini noodles. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Enjoy!
Notes
- Look for a gluten-free noodle that is made from quinoa, lentils, or brown rice instead of corn.
- Serve the chicken Parmesan over zucchini noodles instead of regular noodles for a lower-carb twist.
- Substitute the plain breadcrumbs and seasonings with Italian-style breadcrumbs for more flavor.
- How to prep ahead of time: You can tenderize the chicken up to one day early.

- How to reheat: While you can microwave it to reheat it, you'll get the best texture if you add it back to the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and let cook over Medium to Medium-Low heat for 6-10 minutes, or until heated through.
