Crispy, cheesy Sheet Pan Chicken Parmesan baked to perfection with a kick of spice & juicy marinara sauce. A healthy alternative to deep frying that will win over any hungry heart. Gluten Free + Low Calorie Weight Loss Friendly Recipe
One week! Guys, my group coaching program starts next Monday, March 6th for spring. I would love to see your happy faces in the group. One of the winter participants, lost 12 pounds by week 5. This could be you! For those of you who weren’t around for the winter launch, here’s a quick run down.
My group coaching program is done virtually via Facebook. When you sign up, you get access to my membership portal with my transformation coaching videos! The program has over 40 videos that walk you through changing your mindset, balancing your plate with food tracking and answering common weight loss questions.
Let’s face it. There’s a lot of confusing information out there about foods and many foods are marketed as healthy but they are not. I break it down and make it easy so you can navigate that sea of confusion! As one of the ladies said, it’s like having a personal nutritionist with the motivation of a community and the right education.
But this isn’t just any online course where I send you a bunch of videos and say adios. This is your opportunity to work with me 1:1 VIRTUALLY! During the 8 weeks of the program, you email me your questions as you watch the videos and get real answers.
Perfect for those who need flexibility or don’t have the ability to work with me 1:1!
Okay, so the really REALLY important thing you need to know is there is a cap on the number of participants. Because I work with you virtually throughout the 8 weeks, I only allow so many people into the program. This is so I can give you the attention you need so you can succeed!
This time around I’ll be throwing in a challenge for the group & a prize for the person who loses the most weight! What do you have to lose? Haha…kidding! I think it’s appropriate given the topic.
Now that we got that business out of the way, let’s talk about one of my all time favorite recipes Chicken Parmesan! Except this isn’t just any old chicken parmesan. This is healthy, chicken parmesan made with wholesome ingredients baked to perfection on a single sheet pan.
Oh wait, did someone say sheet pan? Oh yeah…I’m kind of obsessed with the one pan/sheet pan recipes.
I have a few here on the blog for you to checkout in your spare time -> One Pan Lemon Garlic Shrimp & Brussels Sprouts, One Pan Baked Coconut Shrimp and One Pan Salmon Asparagus & Sweet Potato.
I started making one pan dinners last summer because they made cooking and cleanup so easy. I love to cook, but seriously cleaning up is for the birds. Boo…who’s got time for that when you’re eating deliciousness like this Sheet Pan Chicken Parmesan?
Crispy, cheesy, oven baked chicken with a spicy kick! Chicken that tastes fried but is secretly baked, or is it really a secret now that I’m telling you? Either way, you’ll be able to fool all the unhealthy eaters in your house with this recipe. It’s like the unfried version of your favorite southern fried chicken.
Add marinara sauce to the sheet pan with spinach to bake with the chicken. It makes it extra juicy and moist! Serve the chicken with marinara and spinach on top giving it that Chicken Parmesan feel. Add whole grain pasta to the dish if you’re feeling if you’re feeling pasta-licious!

What I Used For The Recipe
We are deep in the phase of 11 wanting to make dinner all by herself. This is perfect because not only can she – – she will actually consume it after 🙂
Perfect! Let me know how it goes. xoxo
Sheet Pan Suppers are the best! I recently made a similar healthy dump-and-bake Chicken Parm, which I’ll share on my own blog soon. Great minds think alike! It’s such a great dish to make healthier without losing any of the flavor. 🙂
Yes they do! Can’t wait to see yours so we can swap recipes.
So creative, I love it! I was going to make chicken parm the other day and didn’t, maybe this is a sign…
Totally is girl!
You know how I feel about dishes already so I’m obsessed with all things one pan, sheet pan whatever pan. I use one pan in my recipes because I mean one pan. None of this business where you have to brown it on the skillet then put it in the oven, who has time for that?
Yeah that’s why none of my recipes involve that business.
Oh wow – I love and enjoy sheet pan eats often – but, lady, chicken parm on a sheet pan – why, that’s simply brilliant! I’ve been cutting back on meats of all sorts and I’m thinking it would be ok if I replaced that chicken with eggplant or even tofu? Nothing ventured nothing gained right? 🙂 BTW – Good luck to ya with your program!
Girl why are you cutting back on meat? That’s awesome though!
I love sheet pan dinners! I see at the edge of the pan the slightly burnt sauce at the very edge……is it weird that I like to scare those burnt parts off and eat them? I love those crispy burnt bits of food. Anyway this looks amazing!
Patrick you’re not weird. I’m the same way!
Sign me up for one-dish anything. We don’t have a dishwasher (thank you, 1908 house). I love this, and I think I could sneak it past Italian/carb-loving Vegas.
I don’t know how I’d survive without mine. One pan dishes for sure!
