    For a lighter take on a delicious classic, try this oven baked chicken parmesan.  It's way less greasy, and just as delicious as the pan fried version.  This dish is an excellent weeknight choice - it's quick, easy and tastes amazing.

    Love baked chicken? Save my easy baked chicken cordon bleu to your chicken recipes. The cordon bleu has a nice Dijon touch I really enjoy.

    Take this baked chicken parmesan recipe to the next level with my Italian marinara sauce. These recipes combine to create a fantastic oven baked dish everyone will love. Enjoy the subtle crunch of the bread-crumb-covered chicken. Soak up the rustic marinara sauce's flavor and forget about store-bought pasta sauce forever.

    Ingredients
     

    • 2 tablespoon dijon mustard
    • 1 teaspoon oregano - dried
    • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • to taste salt and pepper
    • 1 egg
    • ½ cup skim milk
    • ¾ cup parmesan cheese - grated
    • ¾ cup bread crumbs
    • 2 boneless chicken breasts - skinless
    • for brushing olive oil
    • 1 jar pasta sauce - good quality Italian
    • 1 ball mozzarella - fresh

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 425 F (205 C).
    • Mix the dijon, oregano, cayenne and salt and pepper together in a shallow bowl.  In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.  In a third bowl, combine the parmesan and bread crumbs.
    • Dredge the chicken in the mustard mix, coating both sides, then dip it in the egg mix and finally coat completely with the breadcrumbs/parmesan, pressing the meat into the breadcrumbs to coat well.
    • Place the chicken breasts in a glass or ceramic casserole dish and brush lightly (or spray) with olive oil on all sides.  Bake until they chicken breasts are browned and cooked through - about 20 - 25 minutes.
    • Remove from the oven, and spoon about ¼ cup of tomato sauce on each piece, then top with the sliced mozzarella.
    • Return to the oven for about 5 more minutes to heat the sauce and melt the cheese, then serve on a bed of pasta and garnish with fresh basil and more grated parmesan.
