A 20-Minute Chicken Parmesan Recipe

A 20-Minute Chicken Parmesan Recipe

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 3/4 cups pasta sauce (such as Barilla Napoletana®)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  1. Press chicken breasts with the palm of your hand to flatten to an even thickness.
  2. Beat egg into a shallow bowl; place bread crumbs into a separate shallow bowl. Dip each chicken breast into beaten egg and press into bread crumbs to coat.
  3. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat and fry coated chicken breasts until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
  4. Pour pasta sauce over chicken, cover, and bring sauce to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Sprinkle chicken with mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Cover and simmer until cheeses melt, about 5 more minutes.
