Sheet Pan Chicken Parmesan - Move over 30-minute meals, one-pot wonders, and slow cooker convenience. Sheet Pan Suppers is my new weekday supper dream!
OK let me begin by saying that Molly Gilbert is a genius! Just one sheet pan, some ingredients, and you are on your way to a delicious, quick, and easy meal with just one pan to clean! Yes, just ONE! The non-dish washing person in me is loving that!!
I have a confession to make. I am addicted to cookbooks. Yes, it is true, and it drives Kevin absolutely crazy!
Do you really you need this many cookbooks?
Define "need".
Can you live without them?
Ummmm nope!!
It is true, I can't live without them. I may have a few that I have only used a handful of times, but there are those tried and true cookbooks that have been used so many times that I don't even need to bookmark the recipes I use because the pages are worn and stained with the ingredients used to make it. Ya, I tend to be a bit messy when I cook. You should see my computer keyboard!! YIKES!
When I got my copy of Sheet Pan Suppers I grabbed a cup of coffee and sat down to peruse the pages. WOW! I think this cookbook is my new best friend! Not only are there a ton of awesome weeknight meals, there is a chapter entitled “I Love Brunch” and it has me looking forward to the weekend more than ever. I don't even know where to begin! Coffee Crumb Cake? Eggs in a a Hole? Smoked Salmon Egg Boats (after all I am in the Pacific Northwest)? Biscuits and Bacon? They all sound OhhEmmGeee amazing and I want them all right now!!
The Chicken Parmesan was the first recipe that caught my eye though. I love love LOVE traditional Chicken Parm but, with all of the steps PLUS the fact that it is fried, I tend to shy away from the mess and the calories. With Molly's version you are bing, bam, boom cookin' in no time flat. Bonus is there is no frying involved, which means that I have zero chance of burning myself like I usually do when I fry, plus my jeans are eternally grateful that they do not have to deal with the stress test from those extra added calories!
“Chicken Parmesan is one of those classic Italian-American dishes, a favorite of pretty much everyone with taste buds. I often feel guilty scarfing down restaurant versions, though, since they’re usually deep-fried and smothered in cheese. Luckily, the homemade version doesn’t have to be quite so caloric. Instead of frying, we’ll bake our chicken in a crisp panko coating; that way we won’t have to think twice about loading on the cheese. Heck of a compromise, if you ask me.” — Molly Gilbert

Sheet Pan Chicken Parmesan
Published 05/14/2015
Recipe copyright © Molly Gilbert 2014. Used with permission from Workman Publishing Company.
Ingredients
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 11/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons sweet or smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 4 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or cutlets, each about ½ inch thick (about 1½ pounds total)
- 1 jar (24 ounces) good-quality marinara sauce
- 6 to 8 slices provolone cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F with a rack in the upper third. Generously mist a sheet pan with cooking spray.
- Stir together the panko, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, and ½ teaspoon of the salt in a large bowl to combine. In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, the remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and the pepper. In a third shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs.
- Dip each chicken cutlet first in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then in the eggs, and finally in the panko mixture, patting to coat thoroughly on both sides. Place the breaded chicken cutlets on the prepared pan. Mist the chicken with cooking spray to lightly coat.
- Bake the chicken until the panko has browned and the cutlets are almost entirely cooked through (they’ll no longer feel squishy when you poke them), about 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Top each chicken cutlet with about ½ cup marinara sauce (use up the jar) and the provolone and Parmesan, and return to the oven. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, an additional 10 minutes.
- Serve hot.
Prep Time: 0 hrs. 15 mins.
Total time: 40 mins.

NOTES
Pasta is the traditional accompaniment to chicken Parmesan, but a green salad and some toasted crusty bread are also great alongside.

ReplyDeleteSorry to be so late to the “Sheet Pan Chicken Parmesan" party, but I am definitely glad to be here. Six weeks ago I kept this post as a hyperlink, and only made this last night. We absolutely flipped for this dish. I tweaked only 2 aspects of this recipe. I was thinking that possibly the large amount of Paprika could have been a typo, and I used 2 tsp. of paprika. While probably not a typo, I think that I will stick to the 2 tsps. from here on in.....and this will be made OFTEN, as it was that good. Additionally I breaded the chicken breasts earlier in the day and let them dwell on my sheet pan, in the fridge. When it was time for dinner, this was utter child's play to have a restaurant worthy meal on our plates. I paired this dish with linguini, olive oil, and garlic. This was a winner of a recipe, if ever there was. Thank you Bobbi, for your recipe "eye".
ReplyDeleteYay! I am so glad you made this recipe Jeff!! I am in love with the whole sheet pan idea now! I love that you were able to tweak the recipe to meet your needs, I always say that a recipe is just a guide line. I always go off script LOL Your meal sounds delicious BTW Iw ill have to make pasta the next time I make this!!
DeleteThanks for sharing such a healthy recipe! Have a great day!
