How to Make Baked Chicken Parmesan
Baking cutlets has two big benefits. You can use less oil and make fewer dishes to wash up than if you had fried them. Heat your oven to 450ยฐF. Cut the chicken into halves lengthwise. This will make it cook faster and taste better. It will take around 25 minutes for the thinner pieces to cook. Instead of using an egg wash, brush some butter or olive oil onto the chicken before putting on the bread crumbs.
This will make the crumbs extra crispy and the chicken parmesan healthier without anyone noticing.
Chicken Parmesan Serving Suggestions:
Serve your Chicken Parm Sandwich on a roll. For a lower-carb option, try it with Roasted Spaghetti Squash. Veggies like Easy Garlic Broccolini, Broccoli and Orzo, and Roasted Tossed Mushrooms make great side dishes.
Put it all together with a big green salad and youโre good to go!
