Baked Chicken Parmesan

August 26, 2015 By Alli Smith Leave a Comment

Baked Chicken Parmesan

Now that the kids are back in school, all the after-school activities are in full swing. Whether it’s sports or piano practice, it doesn’t leave much time for dinner prep.   

One of the midweek meals I rely on often is Baked Chicken Parmesan. It’s fast, delicious and goes well with so many different sides. I usually serve it alongside Fettuccine Alfredo, a green salad and garlic bread.  It’s so versatile and extremely easy to make.

Helpful Hint:  When I’m rushed even more than usual, I buy Alfredo Sauce in a jar instead of making it from scratch.  My family can’t tell the difference.

I won’t name names, but I have a few picky eaters in my family. This is one chicken dish that they all agree on so its frequently my go-to meal when I’m short on time. 

As a matter of fact, I made Baked Chicken Parmesan for dinner a couple of nights ago and my family went on and on about how good it was.  It’s tender, juicy and crunchy.  My son said, “The seasoning on this chicken is perfect.”  Well, thank you very much.

If you have company drop by unexpectedly, this is the perfect meal as well. It doesn’t get any easier, yet it looks and tastes like you’ve been in the kitchen all day.

Helpful Hint:  The recipe calls for boneless chicken breasts, but you can also use boneless chicken thighs if you prefer dark meat.

The chicken needs to be thin to cook evenly and quickly, so I always pound it with a meat mallet.  Place 2 pieces of chicken in a large freezer bag.  Make sure the chicken is flat and not rolled up. Pound with a meat mallet until thin.  Repeat with the remaining chicken.

Melt butter and mix with sour cream.  Dip chicken in butter/sour cream mixture, then in parmesan cheese.  Place on baking pan that’s been lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
