Baked and Breaded Chicken Parmesan
Chicken Parm is a classic, but when you are making dinner for your family, you want to keep it healthy, too. Wen you bake it in the oven, chicken is light and healthy, compared to fried chicken. But, baked breaded chicken is just as juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside as fried chicken. Moreover, it’s full of flavor, moist and so tasty.
Baked Chicken Parmesan Recipe is delicious family approved meal!
Last year I shared the recipe for Crispy Baked Parmesan Chicken. These were delicious cheesy, garlic Parmesan and corn flakes crusted chicken breasts stuffed with cheddar cheese.
Easy Chicken Parmesan Served with Pasta
But, this time I keep my new Baked Chicken Parmesan recipe simple and classic. So, I used bread crumbs instead corn flakes. To make it extra crispy and flavorful, I added dry Italian seasoning in bread crumbs, alongside the Parmesan cheese.
Baked Chicken Parmesan topped with tomato sauce and melted cheese taste really awesome. It’s quick and easy, simple main dish for weeknight dinner. You can serve it with pasta, spaghetti or just a salad and your kids will love it, too!!!
However, fresh, healthy homemade meal for your family, made in less than 45 minutes sound like great idea, right!?
