Quick Baked Chicken with Parmesan
Ingredients
  • canola oil cooking spray
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 cups spaghetti sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your oven to the optimal temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, take a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light coating of cooking spray.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together water and egg until you achieve a smooth consistency.
4
Meanwhile, combine bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, thyme, and garlic powder in another bowl.
5
Now, take each chicken breast and dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl.
6
After that, coat each chicken breast in the bread crumb mixture, gently shaking off any excess.
7
Repeat this process of dipping and coating each chicken breast in both the egg mixture and bread crumb mixture to achieve a double layer of protection.
8
Place each coated chicken breast in the prepared baking dish, making sure to spray them with cooking spray as well.
9
Finally, bake these breaded chicken breasts in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
10
To add an extra layer of flavor, pour spaghetti sauce over each chicken breast and top with mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese.
11
Continue baking until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the cheeses are melted, approximately 15 minutes more.
12
Check if the chicken is cooked by inserting an instant-read thermometer into the center, which should read at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).

Serve these delicious chicken breasts over pasta and enjoy!
