Directions

Mealthy Tip

Use gluten-free bread crumbs when dipping the chicken into the bread crumb-Parmesan cheese mixture to make this a gluten-free meal.

If you want to skip the pasta, serve this alongside a hearty green salad or roasted zucchini.

What others are saying

Eddie Luciano says:

Very easy, straightforward recipe. Thinking of a substitute to butter I can use just to cut calories. Otherwise, this was a great recipe. Also, I used chicken breasts instead of thighs and pounded them with so they were about 1-1/2" in width.

Jamie Bell says:

First time making this recipe, and it was good. It's a healthier version of chicken parm, better than what I normally would make, which usually involves lots of grease and cheese. I served it over a bed of pasta with lots of tomato sauce. Perfect for a weeknight.

Fran Clarke says:

I use breasts but that works well too. Also olive oil instead of butter as we are trying to eat healthier.

Megan Guiles says:

Great recipe! I used breasts pounded to about .5" thickness and they were perfect using the same given time/temp!

Jordan Farrow says:

Shopping list called for bone-in chicken thighs— would not do that again. Boneless skinless thighs or breasts will work much better.
