This is actually a pretty common question that I've gotten quite a bit. While the traditional (and incredibly delicious) way to make chicken parmesan is with the crispy chicken, you can make it a little healthier. Making it healthier is usually the main reason for leaving off the breading. You can definitely make chicken parmesan without the breading but make sure to season the chicken cutlets before cooking. You can either bake the chicken cutlets or simply cook them in the skillet on the stove-top. Bake them still at 425° but it will take much less time. You can also try my Instant Pot Chicken Parmesan, it is made without breading.
