Chicken Parm Plated

This Oven Baked Chicken Parmesan recipe I got from a co-worker who does not want their name shared. I recently got this recipe and it right away made it into my recipe box. I had never had chicken Parmesan until I was in my 20’s. Surprisingly, it’s a meal my mom never did make and I always thought it was a time consuming recipe. Honestly, chicken with spaghetti sauce never sounded good to me. When I met my husband I found out one of his favorite meals is Chicken Parmesan. So I was then on the hunt for a good recipe. When my co-worker shared this recipe, I could not get over how good it was for how easy it is to make. This is a great meal you can easily double to feed a group or keep it small to feed one or two people. You can serve this with pasta and a side salad.

Variations

  • Substitute Italian bread crumbs for whole wheat bread crumbs, add 1/2 – 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning.
  • Use whole wheat, veggie noodles, or zoodles.
  • I actually eat a side of cottage cheese with this recipe and no noodles.
  • Serve chicken on a hoagie bun and make a sandwich with it.
  • To make this dairy-free, leave out the cheese or use dairy-free cheese.
