Description

This homemade Chicken Parmesan offers a lighter, oven-baked take on the Italian-American favorite. Tender chicken breasts are topped with a savory, thickened stewed tomato sauce infused with oregano and a hint of heat, then finished with melted Parmesan cheese. It&# 226;€™s a hearty, protein-packed meal that feels indulgent without the deep-fried heaviness.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them in a single layer in a baking dish.
  3. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and drain any excess liquid.
  4. While the chicken bakes, combine the stewed tomatoes, cornstarch, oregano, and hot pepper sauce in a small saucepan.
  5. Cook the tomato mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes bubbly, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Pour the hot tomato sauce evenly over the partially baked chicken breasts.
  7. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over the top of each piece.
  8. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set slightly.
