This Baked Chicken Parmesan is tenderized and double breaded with a mixture of panko crumbs, breadcrumbs, and a special parmesan blend, all coated with marinara and delicious parmesan.

Finely blended Parmesan cheese is really the key to this easy chicken parmesan!

I had shredded parm on hand so I blended it up in my Nutribullet. This helps it stick when you’re coating the chicken- which I should add- the double coating is what makes this recipe so special. Yes, it’s baked, but it’s actually BETTER than traditional fried chicken parmesan in my opinion. A healthier flavor and you can taste the tomato sauce.

This  chicken parmesan coating consists of panko crumbs, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, and parmesan.  Add some salt, pepper, and maybe some garlic- and mix well. If you like it spicy, add some red pepper flakes.

Fast Chef Tip: I use paper plates for my coating mixture because well, I’m lazy, and the less dishes I do the happier I am. It’s a win win for everyone. 

Mix your egg wash, coat the chicken. Then repeat egg wash and breadcrumb coating once more.  It’s what makes this chicken parmesan so delicious! The double baked coating gives a thick exterior to the chicken, and the parmesan inside the coating is what gives it a crispy delicious coating. Before adding marinara, give your chicken a spray with non stick cooking spray (preferrably olive oil spray). It helps the chicken brown!

Next step- add your chicken to a baking sheet (lined with parchment paper or foil sprayed with non stick). You want to add the chicken first so it gets a crispy bottom (nobody likes a soggy bottom!).  Add marinara on top, followed by a mixture of parmesan and mozzarella cheese, and bake.
