Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins
Servings: 4
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  2. 1 large egg, beaten
  3. ⅓ cup bread crumbs
  4. 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  5. ¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  6. ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  7. 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  8. ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  2. Pound chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness or less.
  3. Place beaten egg in a bowl. Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in another bowl. Dip each chicken breast in egg, then roll in bread crumb mixture to coat evenly. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 10 minutes more. Let cool, 20 to 30 minutes.
  5. Freeze in a 1-gallon resealable bag with smaller bags of tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.
  6. To serve: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat chicken at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) until heated through and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Top chicken with tomato sauce, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and bake until cheese is melted, an additional 3 minutes.

Didn’t change a thing! Excellent!!

I used eight chicken breast halves. I ran out of coating on the eighth chicken piece so I had to make more coating. Next time, I will make one and a half times the amount for a serving of eight. I also use extra mozzarella cheese. You can go wrong with extra cheese. I greased the pan with butter but next time I will use Crisco or use parchment paper because the coating ended up sticking to the pan. And I lost the coating on the chicken. Overall the dish came out good and it tasted good.

Excellent – made and served it the same night!

This is so easy and taste better than the Chicken Parmesan at Olive Garden!! I didn’t make it ahead, just did it all at once. We did fettuccine noodles with it and it is a definite make again soon from family!
