How To Make Baked Chicken Parmesan | Easy + Healthy

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Prepare a plastic cutting board with paper towels underneath and over the chicken cutlets to absorb moisture.

Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.

Crack an egg into a bowl and whisk it.

Dip each seasoned chicken cutlet into the egg, allowing excess to drip off.

Coat the egg-dipped chicken cutlet in Italian breadcrumbs mixed with 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and place the breaded chicken cutlets on it without overcrowding.

Spray a light layer of cooking spray over the top of the breaded chicken cutlets for extra browning.

Bake the chicken cutlets in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, then flip them and bake for another 8 minutes.

While the chicken is baking, heat the tomato marinara sauce over low heat.

Prepare cheese options: shredded mozzarella and fresh mozzarella for topping the chicken after baking.
