How to Make Baked Parmesan Chicken
The crisp coating on this chicken is livened up with Parmesan, parsley, and oregano before it’s baked to golden perfection. You can bake the chicken in an oven or an air fryer. Whole-grain pasta topped with Italian Salsa Salad would complete the meal deliciously and nutritiously.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a 13 × 9 × 2-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, water, and oil. In a separate shallow dish or pie pan, stir together the remaining ingredients except the chicken. Set the dishes and baking dish in a row, assembly-line fashion. Dip the chicken in the egg mixture, then in the crumb mixture, turning to coat at each step and gently shaking off any excess. Using your fingertips, gently press the coating mixture so it adheres to the chicken. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the baking dish. Lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the top coating is golden brown.
- Air Fryer Variation: Prepare the chicken as directed, through step 2. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray for 2 seconds. Place the chicken in the air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 375°F. and air fry for 7 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces. Spray for 1 second with cooking spray. Air fry for an additional 7 to 10 minutes or until the chicken is done and a meat thermometer inserted in the center registers 165°F. Do not crowd the chicken. If your air fryer basket is smaller it is better to cook half of the chicken, then repeat with the remaining chicken.
