Easy Baked Chicken Parmesan
Easy Baked Chicken Parmesan
"And this baked chicken parmesan without breading, without frying, seems to check off all my boxes. First, you marinate the chicken in Italian salad dressing and ranching dressing with fresh garlic overnight to give your chicken some amazing flavor to start. When ready to cook, make a cheese mixture by combining shredded parmesan cheese and dried herbs instead of breadcrumbs. Coat the marinated chicken and place it into a large baking dish sprayed with olive oil cooking spray in a single layer. Then bake for 20 minutes."
NotesFor a gluten-free version, pay attention to the Italian salad dressing and ranch dressing. Choose ones that do not contain gluten.

What a healthy dish and a great serving size since I have a family of five that always want something hearty. I can see making this and serving it with the broccoli or sauteed veggies and brown rice. You could also add a whole wheat roll for those who can tolerate gluten.

This recipe looks simple yet delicious. We have tried several new chicken recipes recently, but most of them have been sweet. I love that this recipe is savory and uses Parmesan cheese. It will be a nice dish to compliment our menu and broaden our choices for dinner. Thanks for the addition!
