Baked Chicken Parmesan Recipe

This Chicken Parmesan is baked, not fried. It’s easy to make, and tastes incredible!

I just looked back at all my recent recipe posts and realized you guys are probably thinking I feed my kids a steady diet of sugar. I promise that although they would love it, I don’t. Sometimes in between the ice cream and cookies, I manage to sneak in a vegetable or two. We actually had a lovely chicken strip salad for dinner tonight. Really. 🙂

Since my posts have been a little on the sweet side lately, I thought it was high time I shared a main dish recipe. I based this chicken parmesan loosely on a recipe I found over at Picky Palate. I like using either homemade spaghetti sauce that I have stored in the freezer, or a can of premade spaghetti sauce. Makes for much quicker preparation!

I love that this chicken parmesan is baked instead of fried. Not only is it healthier, but you don’t have to stand over the stove cooking it. Always a bonus in my book!

Notes

I have found that if I place the chicken on a cooling rack inside a cookie sheet, the bottom crisps up better. I just spray the cooling rack with non-stick spray, and place it inside my jelly roll pan.
