Ingredients
Method
2) Place the bread in the bowl of a food processor and process until fine crumbs are formed, about 25 to 30 seconds. Put the crumbs on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes, until golden.
3) In a medium bowl, toss the crumbs with oregano, garlic powder, paprika, 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites and milk together. In a third bowl stir together the flour, and the remaining 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. black pepper. Dip each piece of chicken, 1 piece at a time, in flour, shaking off excess, then egg, then bread crumbs, shaking off excess.
4) Increase oven temperature to 200C/Gas 6. Place breaded breasts in a glass baking dish and spray on each side with cooking spray, about 5 seconds total per side. Bake breasts until cooked though and crumbs are browned, about 15 minutes. Top with marinara sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan and return to oven for an additional 10 minutes, until cheese is bubbling.

Crispy, cheesy and saucy, this chicken parm dish is pure indulgence!
Get ready to fall in love with this chicken parmesan recipe, one of the world’s great culinary crowd-pleasers. This beloved Italian‑American classic combines golden, pan‑fried chicken cutlets, fragrant herbs, and lashings of melted cheese, baked together under a blanket of bubbling marinara. It’s comfort food elevated to pure, saucy perfection.
Start with the chicken, which is coated in herbs and olive oil then seared to golden, juicy perfection. Then comes the marinara sauce that makes this chicken and parm dish sing. Shop-bought is fine, but you can make your own by softening onion, garlic, celery, and carrot in extra‑virgin olive oil, then adding crushed tomatoes, basil, bay leaves, and butter. Simmer until thick, fragrant, and ready to spoon over your chicken.
Next comes a generous blend of grated mozzarella and parmesan, then bake until irresistibly golden and gooey. The result? A classic chicken parm dish that’s nothing short of heavenly. Serve with spaghetti tossed in olive oil and garlic, a crisp green salad on the side, or for that extra flair, a slice (or two) of rosemary focaccia to mop up the sauce.
