Savor Crispy Baked Chicken Parmesan Cutlets, perfect for quick dinners. Enjoy a delicious twist on classic parm with crispy goodness.
Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for different texture)
1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs (for added fiber)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (use nutritional yeast for a vegan option)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or fresh herbs for a vibrant flavor)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs (substitute with flaxseed meal mixed with water for a vegan alternative)
1 cup marinara sauce (consider homemade for ultimate freshness)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (try vegan cheese for a dairy-free option)
Olive oil spray (or any cooking spray of your choice)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and pound to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In one bowl, whisk together the eggs. In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, herbs, salt, and pepper.
Dip each chicken piece in the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Spray the breaded chicken lightly with olive oil and bake for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
Once cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C), spoon marinara sauce over each piece and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
