BREADED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH PARMESAN CHEESE



Breaded Chicken Breasts With Parmesan Cheese image

Breading is one of the finest and most versatile cooking techniques. It's easy and quick, and foods properly breaded and cooked are particularly tempting. Pair this dish with a quick ratatouille, a white or red wine (try a lightly chilled Beaujolais), a tossed green salad, and a sherbet or ice for dessert.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, about 1 1/4 pounds
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons flour
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons water
1 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Cut away and discard any white membranes or traces of fat from the breast halves. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper.
  • Put the flour in a shallow dish. Dip the breasts in the flour. Coat well, and shake off excess.
  • Combine the egg with water, salt and pepper in another shallow dish, and beat to blend.
  • Combine the bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese in a third dish, and blend.
  • Dip the breast halves in the egg mixture, coating thoroughly. Drain off excess. Dip the pieces in the bread-crumb mixture, also coating thoroughly. Pat the pieces lightly with the flat side of a large knife to make the crumbs adhere.
  • Heat the oil, preferably in a nonstick skillet, and add the breasts. Cook over moderately high heat until golden brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown on the second side.
  • Transfer the chicken to a warm platter; pour the fat from the skillet.
  • Add the butter to the skillet, and cook until bubbling. Add the tarragon and lemon juice; blend. Pour the sauce over the chicken, and serve immediately.

CHICKEN PESTO PARMESAN (NON-BREADED)



Chicken Pesto Parmesan (Non-Breaded) image

A non-breaded but super tasty spin on chicken parmesan. This is a recipe I just threw together one day when I was trying to think of something to do with chicken breasts and a little leftover pasta sauce. It's EASY and takes no time at all to prep if you have pre-made sauce and pesto. I make this with Kittencal's Perfect Pesto (#144195) and my own Magic Fresh Tomato Sauce (#388224). I never bother measuring myself, so you might have to adjust the amount of tomato sauce so it's close to but not covering the top of the chicken. Serve this with angel hair pasta if desired. Once again, I will beg you to use real shredded parmesan cheese and not the powdered stuff in a can. This makes a huge difference, and you don't even have to shred it yourself if you don't want to - just pick up a bag of pre-shredded. Any Italian blend cheese works great too.

Time 40m

Yield 4 chicken breasts, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (thawed if using frozen)
2 cups tomato sauce (you can use regular spaghetti or pizza sauce)
4 teaspoons prepared pesto sauce
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded (or a mixture of parmesan and mozzarella)

Steps:

  • Spoon a little tomato sauce in a baking pan to cover the bottom and lay chicken breasts on top. Add more sauce around (but not on top of) breasts as desired, but only enough to come a little way up the sides of the chicken - make sure the top is uncovered!.
  • Divide and spread pesto on each chicken breast, adjusting the quantity depending on how much you like pesto - I use a lot!
  • Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes until chicken is done (juices run clear). The exact amount of time will vary depending on the size/thickness of your chicken, so you have to watch them (I recommend a meat thermometer).
  • About 5-10 minutes before chicken is done, top each breast with shredded cheese.
  • Serve chicken breasts with or without pasta, spooning sauce from the pan around or on top of chicken.

Tips:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a quick and easy meal.
  • To make the breading extra crispy, use a combination of panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
  • For a flavorful breading, add dried herbs and spices like oregano, basil, garlic powder, and paprika.
  • Use a shallow dish or plate for dredging the chicken in the breading mixture. This will help to ensure that the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Be sure to shake off any excess breading before frying the chicken. This will help to prevent the breading from becoming too thick and soggy.
  • Fry the chicken in hot oil until it is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) before serving.
  • Serve the breaded Parmesan chicken with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Breaded Parmesan chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a crispy breading and a flavorful interior, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next meal. Whether you are serving it as an appetizer, main course, or snack, breaded Parmesan chicken is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking.
