Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Chicken:

    • In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Coat each chicken breast with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  3. Assemble on the Sheet Pan:

    • Place the breaded chicken breasts on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken breasts.
  4. Prepare the Zucchini:

    • In a separate bowl, toss the sliced zucchini rounds with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  5. Assemble on the Sheet Pan (Continued):

    • Arrange the seasoned zucchini rounds on the other side of the baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer.
  6. Bake:

    • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  7. Add Marinara Sauce and Cheese:

    • Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  8. Finish Baking:

    • Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Garnish and Serve:

    • Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, before serving.
  10. Serve:

    • Serve the Sheet Pan Chicken Parmesan hot, alongside the roasted zucchini. Enjoy with a side of pasta or crusty bread, if desired.

Tips

  • Make it crispy: For extra crispy chicken, you can spray or drizzle a little extra olive oil over the breaded chicken breasts before baking.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs: Panko breadcrumbs will give the chicken a crispier coating compared to regular breadcrumbs.
  • Customize the toppings: Feel free to add grated Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs like basil or parsley on top of the chicken before serving for extra flavor.
