Healthy Chicken Parmesan Recipe
This Baked Chicken Parmesan recipe is so straightforward and easy, and most of that is thanks to Green Giant and their new line of vegetable products.
Green Giant has an entire new line of delicious products like the ones I used above, including veggie tots, riced veggies, mashed cauliflower, and roasted vegetables!
I used their Riced Cauliflower (SO GOOD) and Roasted Broccoli in this new favorite recipe, and they were the perfect simple compliment to the Chicken Parm.
The Riced Cauliflower was especially delicious, substituted for my typical pasta side I would serve with a dish like this. Little substitutions can make a big difference when trying to make better choices for your family, and Green Giant makes it easy!
In fact, this veggie alternative to traditional rice has up to 80 percent fewer calories than traditional white rice.

You’ll never even miss the fry on these baked chicken breasts. The crispy panko and Parmesan coating baked up with utter perfection and the chicken was as juicy as it could be, being baked under sauce and cheese, two of my favorite things!

Ingredients
- 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil finely chopped
- 1 bag Green Giant Roasted Broccoli or any frozen broccoli
Recommended Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Whisk egg in a shallow bowl until well blended. In a separate shallow bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, parmesan, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Start by dipping each chicken breast in the egg mixture, coating both sides. Shake to remove excess egg, then dip into the breadcrumb mixture. Press into the crumbs on both sides to coat as thickly as possible. Place chicken on the baking sheet. Repeat with all four chicken breasts.
- Spray the chicken breasts lightly with olive oil spray or baking spray.
- Place in the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and add the frozen broccoli to both sides of the pan. Be sure to break apart the pieces and lay them as flatly as possible on the baking sheet. It’s okay if some overlap.
- Continue baking the chicken and broccoli for another 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and spread the marinara over the chicken breasts, then top with the shredded cheese. Return to the oven for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted. Switch the oven to broil (optional) to allow for the cheese to bubble a bit more and the veggies to crisp slightly (about 2 minutes). Watch closely, because you don’t want to burn the veggies or the cheese.
- Remove chicken and broccoli from the oven, top with chopped basil, and serve!
- Enjoy!

Great photo, Jamie! Thanks so much for sharing!
Delicious! I browned the panko in a little bit of olive oil before breading. Even my picky teenager liked it.
Looks amazing, Suzanne!
I toasted the panko in a non stick skillet with a bit of olive oil and some seasonings. This makes the chicken much crispier.
I am sorry to hear this didn’t work out for you.
Made this tonight and I must say it was easy and delicious. This was our first Tim trying the riced cauliflower and it was good even the kids ate it. This is now going to be a regular!!!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us, Heather!
Very tasty. Same recipe from Taste of Home that I have made for a long time
How funny! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Can this be made gluten free?
You would leave the breading off of the chicken!
This was absolutely fabulous! Even though I know it is a healthy version of chicken parmesan, it did not taste that way! And the cauliflower rice was a nice addition too. My family says I can bake this anytime.
Thank ya!
Looks delicious!
I am definitely going to try this recipe!
You’re going to love it!
