how long to bake chicken parmesan at 350

The baking time for chicken parmesan at 350°F (175°C) can vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts, the breading, and the desired level of crispiness. Here are some general guidelines:

* Thinly sliced chicken breasts (about 1/4 inch thick): 15-20 minutes
* Medium-thick chicken breasts (about 1/2 inch thick): 20-25 minutes
* Thick chicken breasts (about 3/4 inch thick): 25-30 minutes

It’s also important to consider the breading and the cheese on top. If you want a crispy breading, you may want to bake the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Here’s a more detailed guideline:

1. Breaded and unbaked chicken parmesan: 15-20 minutes
2. Breaded and baked chicken parmesan with melted mozzarella cheese: 20-25 minutes
3. Breaded and baked chicken parmesan with melted mozzarella cheese and a crispy breading: 25-30 minutes

Remember to always check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches a safe minimum internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.

It’s also a good idea to check the chicken parmesan after 15-20 minutes and then every 5 minutes thereafter to avoid overcooking.
