Gluten-Free Chicken Parmesan
A delicious and safe gluten-free version of the classic Chicken Parmesan, combining tender chicken with a crunchy coating, rich marinara sauce, and melted cheese.
Ingredients
Chicken and Coating
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- to taste Salt and pepper
- 1 cup gluten-free marinara sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 large eggs
- Olive oil for frying
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional) Use as a garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- In a bowl, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.
- Dip each chicken breast first into the egg mixture, then into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure each piece is fully coated.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- After frying, place the chicken in the prepared baking dish. Pour the gluten-free marinara sauce over the chicken and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for around 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- If desired, garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
Serve the Gluten-Free Chicken Parmesan hot, straight from the oven. You can pair it with gluten-free pasta, a fresh salad, or steamed vegetables. Drizzle extra marinara sauce on top for added flavor. Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and flavor. If you want extra crunch, double dip the chicken in the egg and breadcrumb mixture. Experiment with different spices in the breadcrumb mixture for a unique twist.
