This southern twist on a classic Baked Chicken Parmesan will soon become your family’s favorite dinner! Chicken breasts are coated in a crispy Parmesan crust and finished with an easy 2-ingredient gravy for a simple, cozy, and satisfying supper with just 10 minutes of prep!
Y’all…I’m so excited about this easy Chicken Parm recipe! It’s the perfect combination of the Italian-seasoned, breaded chicken that you know and love…with a creamy gravy instead of a tomato-based sauce.
Such a delicious and family-friendly meal!
HOW TO MAKE SOUTHERN BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN
You only need 10 minutes to prep this meal for the oven, and I bet that you already have the ingredients in your kitchen!
First, combine “Italian Style” seasoned breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese and garlic powder.
In a separate bowl, melt 1 stick of butter.
Dip a boneless, skinless chicken breast in the butter…
and coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Place the breaded chicken in a large baking dish, and repeat with the remaining meat. Bake the chicken for about 40-45 minutes in a 350-degree F oven.
Meanwhile, it’s time to make your sauce…and it starts with the fanciest Southern ingredients (hah!):
A can of condensed cream of chicken soup and milk!
Whisk together the milk and the condensed soup for a simple chicken gravy!
When the meat is just about cooked through and the crust is golden brown, pull the chicken out of the oven.
Pour the sauce over top, and then return the dish to the oven for about 10-15 more minutes (or until the gravy is hot and bubbly and the chicken is cooked through).
The end result is seriously THE BEST Baked Chicken Parmesan recipe EVER!
The chicken is coated in this delicious, crispy Parmesan crust, which is perfectly contrasted with the smooth, creamy sauce.
Who needs a traditional Italian Chicken Parmesan recipe when you can enjoy this Southern version instead?!
I say, try both! When you’re in the mood for the classic tomato-based version, make my Healthy Dump-and-Bake Chicken Parmesan. But when you need a little creamy, cozy, down-home comfort food? Well, this Southern Baked Chicken Parmesan is just the ticket!

So I tried the recipe tonight for my picky eaters and family of 4. My husband liked it. I liked it but none of my icky eaters ate it :(. I love how quick and easy it was to put together and bake! Also love the blog with hints and healthy options and nutritional facts. It was very nice to use while cooking. Although it wasn’t a favorite for our family, it was defiantly a meal option for me an hubby on the rare night we are eating alone.
Thanks, Taylor! 🙂
Fantastic recipe!! I seasoned my own panko instead of breadcrumbs, but this was a delicious, easy and beautiful dish. I cooked ziti to serve with it. Thank you!!!
Excellent! Thanks, Lisa! I’m so glad that you enjoyed it, and I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a note. 🙂
I was searching online for an entree with chicken that would go well with our first harvest of okra this summer. I came across this, saw the photo of the dish and read the recipe. I had everything on hand so I made it and it was a huge hit!! I did use plain panko instead of seasoned breadcrumbs, and I seasoned the panko with granulated garlic, granulated onion, dried Italian seasoning and a bit of kosher salt and black pepper. The panko held up so well under that delicious chicken “sauce”.
My husband declared it a winner and it immediately went on the keeper list. Thank you for such a wonderful and delicious recipe. I subscribed to your blog as a result. Lisa Schmidt (Comfortcook)
