BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN DIP



Baked Chicken Parmesan Dip image

I love chicken Parmesan, and I love hot, baked dips, so it was only a matter of time before I did a hot chicken Parmesan dip. I would make this again even if it were hard to do, but luckily it's super easy. Unlike actual chicken Parmesan where that crispy breading gets soggy super fast, this goes over crunchy toast so the textural experience is probably even better. Serve hot, warm, or room temperature, with lots of crispy crostini.

Time 9h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 tablespoons cold water
8 ounces grated mozzarella cheese
8 ounces grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 ounce grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 cups prepared marinara sauce
½ cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste
2 tablespoons grated mozzarella cheese, or to taste
2 tablespoons grated Monterey Jack cheese, or to taste
1 teaspoon (packed) coarsely chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Drain ricotta cheese in a mesh strainer set over a bowl in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Season chicken with salt, pepper, and cayenne.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts in the hot oil until browned and just barely cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Turn off heat and splash in cold water, stirring to deglaze. Transfer chicken and pan drippings into a bowl to let cool, about 5 minutes. Dice or shred the chicken.
  • Combine drained ricotta cheese, salt, pepper, 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, and 1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese in a bowl. Mix with a spoon to evenly distribute. Add chicken, the pan drippings, and marinara sauce. Mix with a fork until just combined.
  • Combine bread crumbs and remaining olive oil in the bowl used for the chicken and mix to coat.
  • Transfer chicken mixture to an ungreased baking dish. Top with oiled crumbs, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, 2 tablespoons mozzarella, and 2 tablespoons Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until browned and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve with a spoon or spreading knife.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 large eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
About 3 cups good quality bread crumbs, seasoned or plain
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved
1/4 cup olive oil
7 cups tomato sauce, store bought
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/3 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley, optional, for garnish
Accompaniments: Cooked linguine and Sauteed broccoli rabe, recipes follow
1 pound linguine
2 tablespoons olive oil
Red pepper flakes, to taste
2 cloves garlic, sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 pounds broccoli rabe (about 2 bunches)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the eggs in a bowl and whisk with salt and pepper. Place the bread crumbs on a large plate. Dip the chicken in the egg and then dredge in the bread crumbs. Re-dip in the egg a second time and then dredge in the bread crumbs again.
  • In a large, heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over moderate heat. Brown the double-dipped chicken in the hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken and drain on paper towels. The chicken can be made up to this point a day ahead of time. Wrap the chicken in aluminum foil and refrigerate.
  • Simmer the tomato sauce until hot. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Pour about 2 cups of the sauce in the bottom of a large gratin dish or large ovenproof, glass baking dish. Place the browned chicken breasts on top of the sauce and cover with 1/2 or all of the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with the cheese and bake on the middle shelf for 15 minutes, or until the sauce and cheese are bubbling.
  • Serve hot, and sprinkle with parsley, if using.
  • Linguine with Olive Oil:
  • In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook the linguine for 10 minutes, or until it is al dente and drain. In a large pan, heat olive oil, add garlic slices and saute. Add red pepper flakes, to taste. Add pasta and toss. Season with salt and pepper and serve sprinkled with parsley.
  • Sauteed Broccoli Rabe:
  • Cook broccoli rabe in a large pot large of boiling water until just tender, about 4 minutes, and drain in a colander.
  • Melt butter in same pot over moderate heat, then cook garlic, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broccoli rabe, tossing gently in butter to coat, and season with salt and pepper.

QUICK BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN



Quick Baked Chicken Parmesan image

In this lighter version of chicken Parmesan I skip the pan-frying in oil and instead bake lightly-breaded chicken breasts in the oven, then top with sauce and cheese. My family's not big on lots of sauce and cheese, so I just use a little to flavor the dish. Feel free to add more if you like, but it's excellent as-is. Serve chicken over pasta with additional sauce.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

canola oil cooking spray
½ cup water
1 egg, beaten
1 ½ cups bread crumbs
6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon garlic powder
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 cups spaghetti sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Whisk water and egg together in a bowl until smooth. Combine bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, thyme, and garlic powder in a separate bowl.
  • Dip each chicken breast in egg mixture, allowing excess egg to drip back into bowl. Coat each chicken breast in bread crumb mixture, shaking off excess. Repeat dipping each coated chicken breast in the egg mixture and the bread crumb mixture for a double-coating and place in the prepared baking dish. Spray breaded chicken breasts with cooking spray.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Pour spaghetti sauce over each chicken breast and top each with mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese. Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the cheeses are melted, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup fat-free parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons light butter
Pam cooking spray

Steps:

  • Mix all dry ingredients in medium-sized bowl.
  • Melt butter in microwave.
  • Dip chicken in butter and then coat in dry mix.
  • Place on large baking pan sprayed with Pam and bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.

Tips:

  • Choose High-Quality Parmesan Cheese: Opt for freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture. Pre-packaged grated cheese often contains fillers, which can compromise the taste of your dish.
  • Use Fresh Bread: Stale bread will result in a soggy and less flavorful casserole. Use fresh, crusty bread for a crispy, golden-brown topping.
  • Don't Overcook: Keep an eye on the casserole while it's baking to prevent overcooking. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and unpleasant.
  • Adjust Seasoning to Taste: While the recipes provide measurements for seasonings, feel free to adjust them to your preference. Taste the casserole before serving and add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder as needed.
  • Experiment with Different Bread Types: While Italian bread is a classic choice, you can try different types of bread for a unique flavor profile. Consider using a crusty French baguette, hearty sourdough, or nutty whole-wheat bread.

Conclusion:

Baked Parmesan Casserole is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for various occasions. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, it's a perfect choice for busy weeknights or special gatherings. By following these tips and experimenting with different variations, you can create a flavorful and comforting dish that will impress your family and friends.
