Today I am sharing one of my family’s all-time favorites -Shortcut Chicken Parmesan,
Easy Shortcut Chicken Parmesan
Delicious Chicken Parmesan without all the fuss and mess. Just five ingredients, ready in about 30 minutes! I have been making this quick and easy family favorite meal for years…. it’s often requested for our Christmas Eve dinner.
My first time making this recipe was out of necessity. I was looking for a way to make the chicken crispy for chicken Parmesan without eggs for my daughter with a severe egg allergy. The recipe I had been making for decades called for dredging the chicken in eggs and all the other recipes I tried without eggs just were not very good. Then one day I decided to try a frozen bag of Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips (egg free). They were awesome! Since that day, this is the only way I make chicken Parmesan. I can’t beat how quick and easy it is to make…and it’s so delicious.
The dinner is so simple to make, it only calls for 5 ingredients. We always top it with fresh grated Parmesan cheese which is not pictured in the photo above.
If you have a favorite homemade recipe for spaghetti sauce, use that instead of store bought.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 bag Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips or your favorite brand (25 ounce bag)
- 1 jar (24 ounces) of your favorite spaghetti sauce – or use homemade
- 8 oz shredded mozzarella or sliced mozzarella – fresh mozzarella is wonderful
- 1 pound pasta (spaghetti or angel hair pasta) – cook according to box
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Prepare pasta according to box and bake chicken according to bag, using a cookie/baking sheet covered with foil. While chicken and pasta are cooking, heat spaghetti sauce in a pan.
When chicken is ready, remove and top evenly with mozzarella and return to oven and bake for a few additional minutes, until cheese has melted and starts to bubble. Remove and serve chicken over pasta and spoon spaghetti sauce on top. Serve with fresh grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
This is great served with freshly made garlic bread and salad.
Tip
The bag of chicken strips feeds my family of four. I always have leftover pasta when I make a 1 pound box. If you do not want left over pasta, you can reduce the amount you make. The 24 ounce jar of sauce is always the perfect amount.
