Freezer-Friendly Chicken Parmesan (Make Ahead)
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and grease a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Pound the chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness or thinner.

  3. 3

    Put the beaten egg in one bowl. In another bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Dip each chicken breast in the egg, then roll it in the bread crumb mixture to coat evenly, and place on the prepared baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Turn the chicken and continue cooking until it is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more. Let cool for 20 to 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Freeze in a 1-gallon resealable bag along with smaller bags of tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.

  6. 6

    To serve: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat the chicken at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) until heated through and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Top the chicken with tomato sauce, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and bake until the cheese is melted, an additional 3 minutes.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
