This came out great! The crust was delicious and crunchy and all of the chicken was perfectly cooked. I used gluten free panko bread crumbs and just fresh grated Parmesan cheese (the kind that comes in a little tub) and I added a little garlic olive oil to the eggs, and some paprika and celery salt, basil and oregano instad of Italian seasoning. I also sprayed the cookie sheet with olive oil, which seemed to add a nice browning to the crust. I cooked it for 30 min and turned them at 15 min. Some of us used blue cheese dressing or siracha chili sauce for dipping. We served it with tomato soup and salad. Some of my adjustments were for a low FODMAP diet.

I made this exactly as written and my family LOVED it. I usually bake the chicken without bread crumbs as I am GF, but the chicken ends up dry. I used GF panko and it made a huge difference! The breading keeps the juices inside. I also like not adding the sauce to the chicken as that just makes it soggy. My son used to not like chicken parmesan but he does now!

Crunchy outside, juicy inside! This was the best panko or breaded chicken recipe I have tried. I added a bit of cayenne pepper to the seasonings for a little kick. I served it with pasta, marinara sauce, "magic broccoli" (worth looking for this recipe), and homemade garlic bread. Will definitely make again!
