    That looks sooo good! I made some baked chicken parmesan last night but my bread crumbs didn’t crisp up like yours. Does the drizzled butter help them along their crispy way?

    If I use chicken thighs with the bones in, how long would you recommend I cook them and would you keep it at 400?

    Reply
    • howtonestforless says

      February 25, 2014 at 1:13 pm

      I would suggest about 40-45 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken thighs. Hope that helps.

      howtonestforless has great suggestions, but I wanted to add a couple of more options:

      1. Make your own by toasting bread in a 300° oven for 10-15 min, then grinding it all up in a food processor; if you don’t have a food processor cheese shredder will work too.

      2. Pulveriing croutons in the same way, though a shredder will be a bit more tricky.

      Oh and for future reference, if you ever need Italian flavored bread crumbs (no, this recipe doesn’t call for it) just add the following for every 1/4 cup fine bread crumbs:

      1/8 tsp dried basil
      1/8 tsp dried oregano
      1/8 tsp dried thyme
      1/8 tsp dried marjoram
      1/16 tsp garlic powder
      1/16 tsp dried rosemary
      1/16 tsp dried sage

    I too am a subscriber and I too made this and was seriously wowed by it. I mean, SERIOUSLY! We’ve made a lot of chicken recipes over the years (we eat chicken at least 4x/wk) and all of those recipes boils down to only a couple of favs, but this one has been added to the fav list. This one is worthy of dinner guests and the broccoli was amazing too, wasn’t it? I can’t believe I’ve never tried making it that way!

    Anyway, to those of you who haven’t tried it, you simply MUST. Cheap, delicious and easy. Seriously what is not to love about that?

    I made this last night on my girlfriend’s request… and it was so so easy that I love it, because it came out really really great. We both love chicken and I make a lot of chicken-themed meals, but hands down this is one of the simplest with the best results.

    Thanks for finding me a time saver!

    Also, I completely forgot all about the butter step and the chicken was still delicious and crispy without it.

    Cooked for 40 minutes and it still isn’t getting crispy, what did I do wrong????

      Try broiling it for about 3-5 minutes at the end. Should definitely get crispy after that!

      Parmesan cheese adds a distinct taste to the recipe, but you can just exclude that ingredient if you don’t have it. It will change the taste of the recipe though!

      I normally do 4-6 pieces (servings) of boneless chicken.
