Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years.

Baked Chicken Parmesan

[heart_this] · Apr 14, 2025 · 1 Comment

Baked Chicken Parmesan

An easy and tasty version of chicken parmesan where you simply throw the chicken, marinara sauce, cheese and breadcrumbs into a pan and bake!

Chicken parmesan is a classic dish where chicken is coated in breadcrumbs and fried until golden brown and crispy before topping with marinara sauce (link), mozzarella and parmesan, and baking to melt the cheese. This is an easier version where the chicken, marinara sauce, cheese and bread crumbs are all thrown into a pan and baked! The chicken cooks, the cheese melts and the breadcrumbs get all golden brown and crispy at the same time, with no effort! While the chicken is baking you can easily cook some pasta or rice, and steam a vegetable to have a complete meal in about 30 minutes!

An easy and tasty version of chicken parmesan where you simply throw the chicken, marinara sauce, cheese and breadcrumbs into a pan and bake!

ingredients
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (link) (or oregano)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups marinara sauce (link) *
  • 1/4 cup parmigiano reggiano (parmesan cheese), grated
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon basil, thinly sliced
directions
  1. Place the chicken in a baking dish and season with the Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
  2. Spread the marinara sauce over the chicken before sprinkling on the cheeses and the mixture of the melted butter, garlic powder, oregano and breadcrumbs.
  3. Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until the chicken is cooked through (165F/73.9C), about 25-35 minutes, before sprinkling on the basil and enjoying!
Note: The bake time will depend on the size of the chicken breasts; if you use large chicken breasts, it will take longer; use a meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken reaches 165F/73.9C. If the topping looks like it is getting too dark, cover with foil.
Option: * Use store bought marinara sauce to save time.
Option: Serve over pasta, or rice, gnocchi, mashed potatoes (link), etc.

    Not sure why but a carefully measured and timed shot at your recipe turned out undercooked, losing me points with a certain young lady.
