Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well blended. In another shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs, mixing evenly.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, making sure it is evenly coated. Then, dredge the chicken breast in the parmesan and bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breading sticks well.
Drizzle the vegetable oil in a large baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom to prevent sticking.
Place the breaded chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Ensure they are arranged in a single layer without overlapping.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Remove the baking dish from the oven. Spoon the pasta sauce evenly over each chicken breast. Sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve the Baked Tomato Chicken Parmesan hot, optionally garnished with fresh basil or parsley if desired.
Tips:
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for better flavor and texture.
- Make sure to preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
- Feel free to add Italian seasoning or fresh basil to the bread crumbs for extra flavor.
- For a healthier version, you can bake the breaded chicken breasts on a wire rack to allow excess oil to drip away.
- You can substitute Monterey cheese with mozzarella if you prefer a more traditional taste.
With these straightforward steps, you've successfully prepared a mouth-watering Baked Tomato Chicken Parmesan. Serve it with a side of pasta, garlic bread, or a fresh salad to enjoy a complete and satisfying meal. Bon appétit!
