MAKE-AHEAD FREEZER CHICKEN PARMESAN



Make-Ahead Freezer Chicken Parmesan image

My family loves chicken Parm but making it from scratch on a busy school night is next to impossible. The good news is the chicken can be made ahead and frozen along with the right portion of sauce and cheese for a quick weeknight meal. Serve with pasta and Caesar salad.

Provided by Cari Sultanik

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 large egg, beaten
⅓ cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Pound chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness or less.
  • Place beaten egg in a bowl. Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in another bowl. Dip each chicken breast in egg, then roll in bread crumb mixture to coat evenly. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

  • Freeze in a 1-gallon resealable bag with smaller bags of tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.
  • To serve: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat chicken at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) until heated through and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Top chicken with tomato sauce, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and bake until cheese is melted, an additional 3 minutes.
