My sons love chicken cutlets! I used to fry them but discovered they were just as tasty, and much healthier, when baked. While at BlogHer in New York, I attended an event where Ragu provided a variation of my baked chicken cutlets. I loved it! I also love that the recipe allows me to use my left over chicken cutlets in a different manner, making it feel like a brand new meal. 

Note:  I changed ingredients to cut down on prep time. I used seasoned dry bread crumbs, any brand will do, versus seasoning plain bread crumbs myself. I also used Light Ragu sauce versus the suggested Ragu Old Word Style Pasta Sauce. These changes were made to save time and calories.  I do not think they changed the taste of the meal.

 

RAGÚ NO FRYING CHICKEN PARMESAN
Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes| 6 servings

chicken-parm1 

  • 3/4 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs (I used Italian dry bread crumbs)
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 2 lbs.)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 jar (1 lb. 10 oz.) Ragú Pasta Sauce (I used Ragu’s Light sauce) 
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (about 4 oz.)

 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°. Place bread crumbs in a bowl. Dip chicken in egg, then crumb mixture; turn to coat.
  2. Arrange chicken in 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Bake 20 minutes.
  3. Pour Pasta Sauce over chicken; top with cheese. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.

 

Once cooked, you can serve with pasta, in a sandwich or with a salad. 

Tip: You can double up the recipe and freeze chicken cutlets for future use by not completing  steps 2 and 3. When you are ready to prepare, preheat oven and begin with step 2.

Enjoy! ;)
