Quick Cheesy Chicken Parmesan
Published On

Ingredients

  • 1 (10-ounce) package Farm Rich Mozzarella Sticks

    2 pounds chicken cutlets

    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

    2 tablespoons olive oil

    2 cups prepared marinara sauce

    2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Prepare a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Place the cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to a 1/2-inch thickness. If you purchase thin-cut cutlets, skip this step.
  3. Salt and pepper both sides.
  4. Preheat large skillet over medium-high heat for 30 seconds.
  5. Place 1 T of oil into skillet. Carefully place each pounded cutlet, in a single layer, into pan and sear approximately 1 to 2 minutes on each side until lightly browned. If necessary, repeat with remaining 1 T of oil and remaining cutlets
  6. Transfer each piece to the prepared baking dish. (Do not worry if you overlap the chicken, but you will want to cover the entire bottom of the dish.).
  7. Top chicken with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. Arrange Farm Rich Mozzarella Sticks over the top
  8. Bake for 15 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165°F. Cut and serve.
