How to Make Sheet Pan Chicken Parmesan

The chicken parmesan is breaded using the normal three step process. I’ll run you through the easy steps and give you a few extra hints. How long it takes: 45 minutes Equipment you’ll need: Sheet pan, oven, meat mallet or rolling pin Servings: 6 Prep the broccoli. Cut it into florets, toss with a bit of oil, salt, and pepper and arrange it on a sheet pan. Prepare the breading. You’ll need three shallow bowls. Into one goes seasoned flour, into the next, a beaten egg, and into the third, a mixture of panko bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and dried oregano. the chicken. Flatten the chicken. Simply place a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound lightly with a meat mallet, rolling pin, or the heel of your hand so they are an even thickness. If you like, cut each piece in half, making six servings. Bread the chicken. Working one at a time, dip each piece of chicken into the flour, coating both sides. Next, dip the piece into the beaten egg, and finally into the panko mixture. Arrange on the baking sheet along with the broccoli. Bake. Pop the whole business into the oven and bake fifteen minutes. Take the pan out of the oven, stir the broccoli, and back into the oven it goes for another 10 minutes. Out of the oven again, and top each piece of chicken with a spoonful of marinara and a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese. The pan goes into the oven for just a few more minutes to melt the cheese. Dinner’s ready!
