Homemade Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan Recipe

I spent last weekend visiting my younger sister who attends Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. Though many would expect, in such a situation, to be served mac n’ cheese or ramen for dinner, I was greeted with the opposite kind of meal: A well-planned, gluten-free version of a family favorite, Chicken Parmesan. I’m happy to share her recipe below and hope you enjoy learning how to make Homemade Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan!

Ingredients For Homemade Chicken Parmesan:

1 Box of gluten-free pasta
3 Roman tomatoes, chopped
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
Half a cup of onions, chopped
4 chicken breasts, pounded
1-2 eggs, scrambled
Panko bread crumbs (we used Ian’s GF brand)
Shredded Italian cheese (optional)
4 slices of provolone cheese
1 jar of tomato sauce
Red wine
Olive oil
Pesto
Salt and Pepper

How to make Homemade Chicken Parmesan (4 servings)

**Note, you will want to have the chicken and the pasta/sauce going at the same time. An extra set of hands in very helpful!**

How to Make the Chicken for Chicken Parmesan

Preheat oven to 375
Flatten out chicken and add salt & pepper.
Dip each flattened breast or half breast in egg and them dip in panko crumbs. Make sure each side is coated.
Place breasts on a greased baking sheet and spray top of breasts with cooking spray (this will allow the panko to get nice and crisp).
Bake for 25 minutes
Remove breasts from the oven and place store-bought sauce on top of each breast, add shredded Italian cheese and half slice of provolone on top, and place back in oven for an additional 5 minutes.

How to Make the Pasta & Homemade Sauce

For pasta, follow directions as recommended.
Heat stove top to medium high with olive oil, 2 tbsp.
Combine and sauté onions and garlic for a few minutes before adding the tomatoes.
Add some red wine and simmer covered for 10 mins
Add pasta to sauce mixture. Toss in extra olive oil and pesto to taste.
