Just as cheesy and kid-friendly as the original, this Dump-and-Bake Healthy Chicken Parmesan is an easy dinner with no prep work! Just place all of the ingredients in one dish and let the oven do the work! A lot of you share one of my biggest struggles as a home cook: preparing a single meal that can accommodate a variety of schedules and finicky eaters.

Ingredients

Basil or additional fresh herbs for garnish
Pepper
Salt
Italian seasoning
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
6 oz. Fresh mozzarella, sliced
16 oz. Marinara sauce
6 Small boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Method

01

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
02

Spray a large baking dish (about 9-inch by 13-inch) with cooking spray. Spread half of the marinara sauce in the bottom of the dish. Add the chicken on top of the sauce. Sprinkle chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, to taste.
03

Pour remaining sauce over chicken. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. If you are using larger chicken breasts you will need to increase the baking time to at least 30-35 minutes.
04

Remove foil, place mozzarella slices and grated Parmesan on top of chicken. Return chicken to the oven (uncovered) for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
