Parmesan Chicken

I had been looking for a good Parmesan Chicken recipe. I really like Parmesan Chicken, but hadn't found a GOOD recipe yet, and one that was on the healthier side. I found this one on a recipe blog, and changed it a little. It originally called to fry the chicken, but as I said, I wanted it on the healthier side, so I baked it instead. Still very good!!!

4 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (we prefer bone-in chicken, we think it is more moist..so that is what I used)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 eggs
1 Tbsp water
1 1/4 cups seasoned dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus extra for serving


Combine the flour, salt, and pepper on a dinner plate. On a second plate, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water. On a third plate, combine the bread crumbs and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan. Coat the chicken on both sides with the flour mixture, then dip both sides into the egg mixture and dredge both sides in the bread-crumb mixture, pressing lightly.

Cover a cookie sheet with foil, and then lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken on cookie sheet and bake in 400 degree over for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink, and is cooked through. Serve over some cooked pasta with a little bit of pasta sauce!!!!! So, so good!!!!
