How to Make Chicken Parmesan
Storing Info
Make ahead of time. Bread and bake until fully cooked, but skip the step of adding the marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. Prepare the marinara sauce and store it separately in the refrigerator or freezer. To heat. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place thawed chicken cutlets on a baking sheet. Spoon marinara sauce onto each cutlet, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is heated through. STORE leftover easy chicken parmesan in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 1-2 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake for 10-15 minutes or 30-40 minutes if frozen.
