Favorite Oven-Baked Chicken Parmesan

This is an easy and awesome recipe. The chicken came out juicy and delicious! The only problem I'm running into is keeping the melted cheese on top of the sauce LOL. But I think that's more operator error than the recipe. My husband always asks me to make this and I have made it so much that I don't need to look at the recipe anymore. @Cole - the easiest trick on preheating is to turn the oven on before you start preparing the everything. An oven usually take 5 to 10 minutes to preheat.

This is a great & simple recipe. I made it today. I did get both cheeses though, parm & mozz, over wheat angel hair pasta. Delicious.

This was a hit with my friends. The chicken was moist and delicious. I used my own homemade marinara sauce in order to customize the ingredients. Pasta as a side dish worked well with the saucy chicken.

This is a super recipe. Especially if you're limited on time. I ran out of Italian bread crumbs so I used plain ones and added Italian seasoning to plain bread crumbs and it worked great. My family loves it! We use angel hair pasta,it cooks faster. Throw in a bag of mixed Italian seasoned vegetables (from the freezer section) it made a meal!

I made the recipe with 3 chicken breasts instead of 4, and it came out perfectly! This is a fantastic dish.

really good. I'm no chef, but this turned out well. Kids (6 7 fussy eaters) loved it. It was "pizza chicken" to them.

If you marinate the chicken in italian dressing, or Lawry's marinade, for about 30 min - 1 hour, it keeps the chicken really tender while allowing the exterior get really crispy. For a bit of a cajun kick, slap on some cajun seasoning (literally) to the bare chicken before coating and it gives a nice bite. Goes fantastic with fresh green beans, corn and a salad. Ca c'est bon!! Laissez les bons temps rouler!!!

You just need a meat thermometer to tell when the meat is done. All ovens cook different. Its a very easy recipe....

I just made this meal a few minutes ago. Ive made it before from another website but just wanted this for temp. for the oven. I did this recipe a little different then told. I pan-fried the chicken after I covered it in the breadcrumbs and egg and added some s/p and milk to the egg mixture. Pretty much after I did that I did the same thing the recipe told to cover in sauce and cheese. Im also making lingunine pasta with it and im going to add more sauce to the noodles and cheese. Should be a good meal & Easy one at that!

My family and I just finished eating this, and it was a huge success!! I have 3 kids ages 5 and under, and they all finished their plates, and my husband had 2nds, which is always a good thing :) I did everything as suggested. The cooking time was right on and my chicken turned out perfect. The only change I made at all was that I put 1/2 a cup Parmesan (shredded) and 1/2 a cup Mozzarella on. Thank you so much, this recipe has been added to my favorites!

I made this and it came out perfect! Its a nice thing to cook when you're too lazy to go all out with your dinner.

No cheese needs to be added to the breadcrumbs if you're using FLAVORED breadcrumbs. Also, make sure you buy the thin chicken breasts (saves time pounding them). We are on low-fat, low-sodium here so we top it off with low-sodium mozz. cheese.

LOVED this recipe! Made it using chicken tenderloins. For the egg mixture - I added some Italian dressing, and baked the dish a little lower at 350°F for about 45 minutes.

I spooned the sauce onto noodles, then added the chicken- topped with cheese and I melted the cheese for a few minutes in the oven.

AWESOME recipe!!! Rave reviews from the dinner table!!! Can't wait to make it again!
