    Homemade Sauce

    For this baked chicken parmigiana recipe, I’ve started with the Red Sauce. It’s important to start with the sauce in order to save time. It will need to simmer for a bit while you’re preparing the other ingredients.

    Chopping the Vegetables

    I want a fine chop on all the vegetables and for that, I always use an Ulu. Start off by chopping the onions and bell pepper with a knife, but use the Ulu to get that dice. Not only is it easier, but it’s safer as well.

    For the carrot, I used a zesting tool. I didn’t want to try to cook little chunks of carrot. If you grate it, it will cook so much more quickly.

    Use a Zesting Tool for the Carrots

    I would usually see this tool being used for zesting lemons or limes. I also use it for grating fresh ginger. By using it for carrots, you make them so small that they don’t need as long to cook as they would normally.

    Prepare Chicken for Oven Baking

    When you’re using the meat mallet, be sure to cover the chicken with plastic. If you don’t you may end up getting chicken bits flying everywhere. Ask me how I know.

    I found a handy list of other ways to tenderize or flatten the chicken when you don’t have a mallet.

    Alternatively, try cutting your chicken horizontally to make four thin filets. You will need to double the egg mixture and breadcrumbs and it won’t need as long to cook.

    As it turns out, slicing the chicken breast in half isn’t really as difficult as you might think. You just have to be really careful.

    If you have a skillet that can handle 425° in the oven, you can make this baked chicken parmigiana recipe without having to use a separate casserole dish. You can just go from stove top to oven.
