5-Ingredient Chicken Parmesan
This classic recipe is made with crispy chicken cutlets, rich marinara sauce, and gooey Italian cheeses! It is the perfect comfort food that the whole family will enjoy! Made with only 5 simple ingredients and less than 30 minutes of cooking time!
Ingredients
- 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded thin
- panko or Italian breadcrumbs Italian seasoned
- 26 oz marinara sauce
- 3 cheese Italian blend (mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, and provolone cheese)
- 2 eggs beaten
Instructions
- Pound your chicken breasts until they are about a 1/2 inch thick. You want less thickness of your chicken breasts so they cook evenly and have that classic chicken parm look! Grab a shallow bowl and fill it with breadcrumbs and another other with the whisked egg mixture. Then coat them in the egg wash then the breading mixture. Make sure to press the crumbs down hard so they do not fall in the cooking process! (For crispier crust, dip chicken in flour first, then the egg, then the panko!)
- Heat up a skillet with a little olive oil and shallow fry your chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit will you are finishing up the chicken. Coat a baking dish with some of the pasta sauce then place your chicken in a single layer on top of it. Spoon a few tablespoons of sauce on top of each chicken breast and spread until fully coated. Sprinkle your favorite cheese blend on top of the chicken. I like to sprinkle a little bit on Italian seasoning on top for extra flavor!
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for ten minutes then remove the foil and bake for another couple minutes until it is your desired crispiness! (You can broil too to make the cheese extra crisp!) When internal temperature reached 165 you can remove from oven. Enjoy warm!
