Ingredients You'll Need
- Original Bisquick Mix - Baking mix makes the process much easier and is needed to coat/dredge the chicken in and helps to give it that nice crispy texture.
- Italian Seasoning - Adds spice and seasoning to the chicken.
- Parmesan Cheese - Helps to thicken the mixture to dip the chicken in to coat it and gives it a nice slightly salty flavor.
- Eggs - Two large egg is needed to help the batter stick to the chicken and not fall apart.
- Chicken Breasts - Needed to make any chicken parmesan recipe. I prefer to use flat boneless skinless for this recipe.
- Olive Oil - Use any cooking oil that you prefer. I prefer to use olive oil for this particular recipe.
- Pasta Sauce - Needed to finish off the chicken parmesan and serve it with pasta. Use your favorite sauce or make your own.
- Italian Cheese Blend - You want to use shredded cheese for this. Grab classic or low-fat and it will provide the perfect cheesy topping to the chicken that you're looking for.

Step By Step Instructions
Begin this recipe by grabbing a shallow dish or pie plate. Mix together the Bisquick mix, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese until combined. In another separate shallow dish or pie plate, beat eggs.
Coat the chicken breast with the Bisquick mixture, then dip each piece into the egg, and place it back into the Bisquick mixture again to coat it and make it extra crispy. In 12-inch non-stick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the prepared chicken to the heated oil for about 4 to 6 minutes, turning once. Continue cooking until slightly golden brown.
Cover and cook an additional 8 to 10 minutes longer, turning once, until the juice of the chicken is clear when the center of the thickest part is cut. Remove from skillet.
Pour the pasta sauce into the same skillet. Return the chicken to the skillet and place it on top of the sauce.
Sprinkle with the Italian cheese blend. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Serve the Easy Skillet Chicken Parmesan over some cooked pasta. Enjoy!
