This straightforward chicken parmesan dish delivers consistent flavour, whether cooked for a small group or a crowd.

The method involves coating and frying the chicken before baking it with sauce and cheese until bubbly. It is a versatile main course ideal for serving with pasta or rice.

5-Ingredient Chicken Parm

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (pref. Italian seasoned)
  • 1 (26 ounce) can spaghetti sauce (or equiv. homemade, I use Prego because it is sweeter than most.)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, fresh grated

Method

  1. Wash the chicken breasts and pat them dry, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to tenderise.
  2. Fry the breaded chicken in a Teflon skillet or with a small amount of olive oil until fully cooked.
  3. Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it from the pan.
  4. Spread half of the spaghetti sauce into a 9x5 inch casserole dish.
  5. Arrange the cooked chicken breasts over the layer of sauce.
  6. Cover the chicken with the remaining spaghetti sauce.
  7. Top with the shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese, then bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes until the sauce is hot and the cheese has melted.
  8. Serve the finished dish over spaghetti or rice.
