Crispy Chicken Parmesan

Healthy Fact of the Day

While indulgent, Chicken Parmesan provides protein and calcium. To make healthier, bake the chicken instead of pan-frying. Use whole wheat breadcrumbs for added fiber and nutrients. Consider using part-skim mozzarella and less cheese overall. The tomato sauce offers lycopene and antioxidants. Make your own marinara to control sodium and sugar. Adding a side of vegetables or salad creates a more balanced meal. While satisfying, this is a calorie-dense dish best enjoyed in moderation. The herbs and garlic add flavor and beneficial compounds without extra calories.

Ingredients

 

  • 4 chicken breasts, pounded thin
  • 2 cups Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. Set up breading station: flour, beaten eggs, and mixed breadcrumbs with seasonings.

  3. Season chicken with salt and pepper.

  4. Dredge each piece in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture.

  5. Heat olive oil in large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

  6. Cook chicken 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.

  7. Top each piece with marinara sauce.

  8. Layer with mozzarella and Parmesan.

  9. Transfer skillet to oven.

  10. Bake 10-12 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

  11. Let rest 5 minutes.

  12. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

The August Kitchen: Cooking at the Peak of Everything

August produce represents the annual peak of nutritional density across virtually every category of summer vegetable and fruit. Research tracking antioxidant content, vitamin concentrations, and phytonutrient levels through the growing season consistently finds that the final weeks of peak season — when the plants have had the longest period of sun exposure and the most complete development of their nutritional compounds — produce measurably higher concentrations of lycopene in tomatoes, beta-carotene in peppers, anthocyanins in eggplant, and vitamin C across the board than early-season or out-of-season produce. Eating abundantly from the August farmers market is, nutritionally, one of the highest-return dietary investments available in any month of the year.

Domino’s Half-Price Pizza Is Back — And It Works Any Way You Order

A half-price pizza deal is the perfect time to load up on vegetables — extra toppings like peppers, mushrooms, onions, and spinach add fiber and nutrients while keeping the cost minimal at 50% off. Thin crust is consistently the lowest-calorie option across any Domino’s pizza and lets the toppings do the heavy lifting flavor-wise. If you’re ordering for one, a medium instead of a large naturally controls the portion and keeps leftovers manageable for the next day’s lunch.
