Oven Fried Parmed Chicken is an alternative to the traditional fried chicken recipe that is popular in America. The recipe provides all the deliciousness of fried chicken, with a crispy breaded exterior and tender, juicy interior, but with fewer calories and less fat. Instead of deep-frying, this chicken is baked in the oven and coated with parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs for a crispy and flavorful crust. The addition of spaghetti sauce and melted mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken adds a delicious Italian flavor. This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or as a party snack that everyone will enjoy.
