Grandmas Bogie's Parmesan Chicken

Name: Grandmas Bogie's Parmesan Chicken
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 55 min
Total time: 75 min
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: canola oil cooking spray; ½ cup water; 1 egg, beaten; 1 ½ cups bread crumbs; 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided; 1 tablespoon dried oregano; 1 teaspoon dried basil; ½ teaspoon dried thyme; ½ teaspoon garlic powder; 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves; 2 cups spaghetti sauce; 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

This baked chicken Parmesan is a lighter version of the traditional chicken Parmesan as I skip the pan-frying in oil and instead bake breaded chicken breasts in the oven, then top with sauce and cheese. My family's not big on lots of sauce and cheese, so I just use a little to flavor the dish. Feel free to add more if you like, but it's excellent as-is. Serve chicken over pasta with additional sauce.

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2
Whisk water and egg together in a bowl until smooth. Combine bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, thyme, and garlic powder in a separate bowl.
3
Dip each chicken breast in egg mixture, allowing excess egg to drip back into bowl. Coat each chicken breast in bread crumb mixture, shaking off excess.
4
Repeat dipping each coated chicken breast in egg mixture and the bread crumb mixture for a double-coating and place in the prepared baking dish. Spray breaded chicken breasts with cooking spray.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
6
Pour spaghetti sauce over each chicken breast and top each with mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese.
7
Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the cheeses are melted, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
8
Serve over pasta.
