I love adding chicken cutlet recipes to my family's weekly meal plan. Because the chicken is thin, the recipes always cook fast. Most are ready to serve in 30 minutes.

Sheet pan recipes are popular because cleanup is also easy. After you make this chicken cutlet Parmesan with spaghetti recipe, you'll realize there's only one pan to clean up at the end of the night, you'll be looking for a few more one pan meals to cook:

  • 30 Minute Caprese Chicken - not made on a sheet pan, but in a cast iron skillet.

Side Dishes to Serve

I happen to think spaghetti is the perfect side dish for this Chicken Cutlet Parmesan Recipe but here are a few other ideas:

  • My children love this easy recipe for Homemade Mac and Cheese as a side dish with any chicken cutlet recipe.
  • Twice Baked Potatoes is another family favorite! 
  • Roasted Asparagus or a side salad are great vegetables.

Ingredients for crispy chicken cutlets with marinara sauce and cheese.

Cooking Tip: Lay a piece of parchment paper down on the cutting board for easy cleanup.

Step by Step Directions

Step 1: How to make Thin Chicken Cutlets

The first step in making this recipe is to make the chicken cutlets thin. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on a cutting board that’s been lined with parchment paper.

Using a sharp knife, slice the chicken breast down the side lengthwise cutting all the way through until you have thin chicken cutlets.

I started with two chicken breasts and now I have four thin chicken cutlets. If the chicken cutlets are not thin enough, you can make them thinner using a meat mallet.

Step 2: Bread the Chicken

Add the garlic powder and freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the seasoned breadcrumbs. Then dip the chicken in the beaten eggs and then in the seasoned breadcrumbs.

Step 3: Prep the Baking Tray

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and then place the prepared seasoned breasts on top. Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 400° degree oven or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
