Amounts are scaled from the original 4 servings; cooking times may change for bigger batches.
Steps
- Heat the oven to 425°F and oil a baking sheet.
- Dip the chicken in beaten egg, then in breadcrumbs mixed with half the parmesan.
- Bake 15 minutes, flip, top with sauce, mozzarella and remaining parmesan.
- Bake 8-10 minutes more until the cheese bubbles and the chicken reads 165°F.
Swaps
- Out of breadcrumbs? Crush crackers or toast and pulse stale bread, or use rolled oats.
- No jarred sauce? Simmer a can of crushed tomatoes with garlic, oil and salt for 10 minutes.
- Turkey works the same way as chicken; cook both to 165°F.
Times are a guide; ovens and air fryers vary. Cook poultry to 165°F, ground meat to 160°F, and pork and fish to 145°F. Diet tags come from the ingredient list; check labels for allergens.
