How much does this recipe yield?

So if you are following along with the 4 chicken breasts, this will provide 4 servings. However depending on the cuts of your chicken, you can always cut the breasts in half (making them thinner) if yours are really thick and would rather have smaller servings. 

What can you serve with baked chicken parmesan chicken breast?

This dish is very flavorful yet versatile enough to be served with a variety of things. Having chicken as the main dish opens up a lot of possibilities. There are of course many vegetables you can choose from, having them fresh or steaming them. You can always pair the chicken together with a salad that includes fresh vegetables. Potatoes are also a great side whether you chose to have them mashed, or baked. And for all my garlic lovers there is always the option of putting together some garlic bread or even just some sourdough bread or dinner rolls. 

Are there any variations to this recipe

Everyone has their own preferences and different tastes that they like. The nice thing about the recipe is that it is so simple you can afford to switch or add things that you like. You can choose to use bone in chicken breasts if that is what you already have or prefer that is not a problem! Also another common addition is using lemon juice to zest or varnish your chicken right before serving it. This adds to the flavor and is a quick adjustment to make.
