Featured Recipe: Easy Sweet Onion Chicken Parmesan

 

This dish tastes like a restaurant classic but comes together in no time, thanks to the rich flavor of our Sweet Onion sauce.


Ingredients:

  • 1 jar of Bastinelli’s Sweet Onion Pasta Sauce

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1/2 cup flour

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.

  3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip it in the egg, and then coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.

  4. Heat a large skillet with a little oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.

  5. Place the golden chicken in a baking dish. Pour the jar of Bastinelli’s Sweet Onion Pasta Sauce over the chicken and sprinkle everything with mozzarella cheese.

  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with a side of pasta or a fresh salad.
