Baked Chicken Parmesan

featured in Healthy Chicken Parmesan Dinner For 2

This classic Italian dish is made healthier by baking instead of frying the chicken. Tender and juicy chicken breasts are coated in breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, then baked in the oven with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.
