How to Make Baked Chicken Parmesan Without Tomato Sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/2-inch thickness. This ensures even cooking.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs with a tablespoon of milk or water.
  4. In a separate shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup), garlic powder (1 teaspoon), onion powder (1/2 teaspoon), salt (1/2 teaspoon), and black pepper (1/4 teaspoon).
  5. Dip each chicken breast in the egg mixture, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Optional: Add sliced jalapeños on top of each chicken breast before baking.
  7. Place the breaded chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
