Baked Chicken Parmesan

This delightful dish offers a healthier twist on a classic favorite by baking instead of frying. The chicken breasts are coated in a flavorful breadcrumb crust, topped with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella, creating a mouthwatering combination of textures and tastes.

For a touch of modern convenience, you can use store-bought marinara sauce or opt for a homemade version. Consider replacing breadcrumbs with panko for extra crispiness or using gluten-free options if needed.

Perfect for a cozy family dinner or entertaining friends, this dish pairs seamlessly with a simple green salad or spaghetti. It’s an ideal option for a satisfying weekend meal, providing comfort without the extra calories.
