Baked Chicken Parmesan

Baked Chicken Parmesan
30 Minutes Easy

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 cups of any tomato sauce you like
  • 3 - 4 sprigs fresh oregano, pulled apart
  • 1 - 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup Italian flavored bread crumbs
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (plus some for topping later)
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • mozzarella cheese for topping the chicken

METHOD:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a cookie sheet or baking pan with non-stick cooking spray

2. Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl

3. Put flour on a piece of wax paper. On another piece of wax paper, mix the bread crumbs with 2 tablespoons Parmesan and sprinkle with salt and pepper to your taste

4. Lightly dredge the chicken in the flour and dip in the eggs. Then, coat the breasts in bread crumbs

5. Place the breasts on the pan or sheet and spray lightly with more cooking spray

6. Bake the chicken until golden brown — this will vary depending on the thickness of the chicken, but it will be between 10-15 minutes

7. While the chicken is cooking, warm a saucepan over medium heat. Pour the olive oil into the saucepan

8. Pour the tomato sauce into the saucepan along with the sprigs of oregano. When it starts to bubble, let simmer until chicken is ready

9. Check to ensure that the chicken is done (it should have an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees at its thickest point). Spoon the sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with some mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Put back in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese has melted
