Baked Chicken Parmesan is a DELISH, healthy alternative to the beloved classic! An easy oven version of the traditional recipe, it offers chicken parm’s signature cheesy, crispy goodness, with a healthy spin and less mess.

The Parmesan-crusted chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside and lusciously juicy on the inside, and the cheese topping is hot, bubbly, and every bit as satisfying as it should be.

Cook for 6 to 8 minutes at 400 degrees F. Flip the chicken breasts over and add the cheese and sauce on top.

Dry chicken is often overcooked chicken. For best results, invest in a simple instant-read thermometer to check your chicken’s internal temperature as it bakes. Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, but it will continue to cook as it rests, so for this recipe, I remove mine at 160 degrees F.

Chicken parmesan is a classic dish that’s popular for good reason – how could anyone resist the combination of crispy chicken, marinara sauce and plenty of melted cheese?

This baked chicken parmesan is a little bit lighter of a take on this dish. It’s just as good as what you’d get at your favorite restaurant!

This recipe starts with boneless skinless chicken breasts. You’ll want to use thinner chicken breasts, as the really thick ones will take a long time to cook, and your coating to meat ratio will be off. The chicken breasts are dipped in melted butter, then coated in a mixture of Italian breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs and seasonings.

The chicken is coated with a little bit of butter and oil, then baked until golden brown. The finishing touch is a topping of marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Put the chicken back in the oven long enough to melt the cheese and you’ll be ready to eat.

I typically serve my baked chicken parmesan over spaghetti, which is the classic preparation. That being said, you can really use any type of pasta you like.

If you’re looking for a full Italian meal, whip up a batch of garlic knots, Italian salad or Olive Garden minestrone soup to go along with everything else.
