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.

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!

Lookin Delicious… Will surely gonna try this at home :)
Do you cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise like you do in your baked fried chicken recipe? That recipe also has a longer cooking time, 40 min vs 25 min for this recipe. Thank you.
I don’t do that but you totally could. It has a shorter cooking time because the cubed chicken is basically boiling in the sauce and cooks faster.
What a great post. I totally know what you mean about that to do list.
Oh well.. this is very very awesome in look and I am sure it will be in taste too. This is mouth watering dish you have made and surely I will try it too. Thanks for this admin. :)
