Learn how to make incredibly crispy baked chicken parmesan, a family-favorite Italian-American dish. This recipe focuses on achieving a perfectly golden and crunchy breading without frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Pound them lightly to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, pepper, and salt.
  4. In another shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk.
  5. Dip each chicken cutlet first into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated, then press it firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides.
  6. Place the coated chicken cutlets onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the top of each chicken cutlet.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breading is golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken cutlet and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  10. Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can toast the breadcrumbs lightly before coating the chicken.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture for a little heat.
  • Serve with your favorite pasta or a side salad.
