Freezer Chicken Parmesan
Ingredients
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/3 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a hot temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take some cooking spray and lightly cover a baking sheet to prevent any food from sticking.
3
Now, take your chicken breasts and use the flat side of a meat mallet to gently pound them into thin cutlets, aiming for an even thickness of half an inch or less.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together some egg to create a smooth mixture. In another bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder to create a tasty blend.
5
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, making sure they're fully coated, then roll them in the bread crumb mixture to coat evenly. Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
6
Put your chicken breasts in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, then flip them over to continue cooking until they're no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, which should take about 10 minutes more.
7
Once cooked, let your chicken breasts rest for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
8
For long-term storage, place your chicken breasts in a large resealable bag with some smaller bags containing tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.
9
To serve, take your chicken breasts out of the freezer and thaw them in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat your chicken breasts in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (or 190 degrees Celsius) until heated through and crispy, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
10
Top your chicken breasts with tomato sauce, sprinkle some mozzarella cheese on top, and bake in the oven for an additional 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
