Easy Oven Baked Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan breading

It's game day here in the Angell household! As a professional athlete, what Nick eats on a day-to-day basis, but especially prior to game days is very important. With this in mind, yesterday I made chicken parmesan with spaghetti for dinner. Here is my recipe for easy, oven baked chicken parmesan! 

Ingredients

-2.5 dL cracker crumbs

-2.5 mL italian seasoning

-1.5 mL garlic salt

-4-6 chicken breast halves (about .8 kg)

-1 egg, beaten

-1 jar pasta sauce (600 mL)

-1 dL shredded parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 200° C. Mix together cracker crumbs, italian seasoning, and garlic salt. Prep chicken and pound into equal pieces about 1.5 cm thick. Dip chicken in egg, then crumb mixture, turning to coat evenly. 

2. Arrange chicken in baking dish and cook for 25 minutes. 

3. Take chicken out of oven, pour sauce on top and garnish with parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until chicken is prepared.

Ready to go in the oven!

As I mentioned, I like to serve chicken parmesan on top of spaghetti noodles. Cooking both dishes at once generally works fairly well, and the pasta is done at just about the same time as the chicken. What is your favorite game-day meal?
