Healthy Chicken Parmesan

Print Recipe

A lighter twist on the classic Chicken Parmesan, this healthy version is packed with flavor and nutrients without sacrificing taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1.5 cups marinara sauce
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Butterfly and pound the chicken breasts to about ¼ inch thickness.
  3. Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with whisked eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings.
  4. Coat each chicken cutlet in flour, dip it into the egg mixture, then cover it with the breadcrumb blend.
  5. Place the breaded chicken on the baking sheet and bake it for a total of 30 minutes (15 minutes per side).
  6. Top each cutlet with marinara sauce and mozzarella, then broil for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese melts.
  7. Serve the Healthy Chicken Parmesan over pasta or salad as desired.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken in lemon juice and garlic before breading. Use red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. For a lighter option, reduce cheese or skip broiling.
