Three Ingredient Baked Parmesan Chicken

In a preheated 400 degree oven, you bake your breaded chicken uncovered for 20 minutes before adding your favorite spaghetti/penne or marinara sauce. These first 20 minutes will allow your chicken to get nice and crispy. A crisp crust on oven baked chicken parmesan is key to perfecting this dish. Without the breadcrumbs nice and crisp, when you add the sauce you will have a soggy mess on your hands.

Once you’ve baked your chicken parmesan for 20 minutes in your preheated 400 degree oven, simply pour the sauce over the chicken breasts and sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes.

After the additional 10 minutes, check the thickest part of the chicken breast with an instant-read digital thermometer (aka your best friend in the kitchen). The chicken will be done at 165 degrees. If your chicken is not quite done (depending on the size of your chicken breasts) simply continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes until the chicken has reached 165 degrees.

Easy Baked Chicken Parmesan

I like to serve my easy oven baked chicken parmesan over a bed of pasta. What type of pasta? This is really up to personal preference. I like mine over spaghetti, linguine, or fettucini. I find these longer pastas help soak up all that delicious sauce.

On the side, a simple green salad is always nice and the freshness works as delightful palate cleanser in contrast with the richness of the chicken parmesan.

Any green vegetable can also be a nice accompaniment. I like a little broccoli or green beans. Also, don’t forget your garlic bread to sop up that sauce on the plate. Make our simple recipe or pick up Texas toast in any grocer’s freezer section. Pop it in the oven for 5-8 minutes as your easy oven baked chicken parmesan rests and it’ll all be ready at the same time.
