Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan is one of those comfort food classics that can feel completely off the table once you're avoiding gluten — but this version brings it all the way back. The breading station uses gluten free flour and gluten free breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan, dried oregano, and garlic powder, so every bite has that satisfying, herby crunch you'd expect from the original. Pounding the chicken to an even thickness before breading is the move that makes everything cook evenly and stay juicy, and searing it in olive oil until the crust turns deep golden before it ever hits the oven locks in that texture. From there, a generous spoon of marinara and a blanket of shredded mozzarella go on top, and the whole skillet finishes in a 400°F oven until the cheese is bubbling and the chicken hits 165°F. The result is saucy, cheesy, and genuinely crispy — not a compromise version, just a really good dinner. A handful of torn fresh basil over the top right before serving adds a bright finish that makes it feel a little fancy for a weeknight. This recipe serves four, so it's just as good for feeding the family as it is for meal-prepping lunches the next day.
