Recipe View To serve: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat chicken at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) until heated through and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Top chicken with tomato sauce, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and bake until cheese is melted, an additional 3 minutes.

For optimal results, use high-quality bread crumbs. Panko bread crumbs provide a particularly crispy texture.
Ensure the chicken breasts are pounded evenly for consistent cooking.
Allow the chicken to cool completely before freezing to prevent ice crystals from forming.
When reheating, place the chicken directly on the baking sheet for a crispier crust.

    The chicken came out perfectly crispy, even after being frozen. My kids loved it!

    I added a pinch of red pepper flakes to the bread crumb mixture for a little extra kick. Delicious!

  • Tyrel Jacobi

    This recipe is a lifesaver! I prepped a bunch of these on the weekend and had easy dinners all week.

  • Evalyn Thiel

    Freezing the sauce and cheese separately really makes a difference. Everything tastes so fresh when it's baked.
