This recipe is one of my all time favorites. I adapted it from 365 Ways To Cook Chicken. Serve with buttered spaghetti (or rice) and a tossed salad. I personally think this dish is better (and cheaper) than Parmesan Chicken in an Italian restaurant.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts, (about 3 pounds total), split and trimmed of fat
2 cups milk
4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
6 large eggs, beaten
6 cups unseasoned dry breadcrumbs
Pinch of salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups Mark Strausman's Tomato Sauce Mark Strausman's Tomato Sauce, warmed
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced

Steps:

Using a meat tenderizer or a heavy skillet, pound chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic until flat, about 1/4 inch in thickness. Place milk, flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow baking dishes. Season eggs with a pinch of salt. Dip each breast in the following order: milk, flour (shake off excess), eggs, and breadcrumbs (press down firmly while coating with breadcrumbs).
In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium-high heat until sizzling. Arrange chicken breasts in the pan without crowding, cooking in batches if necessary. Reduce the heat, and cook chicken until golden brown and juices run clear when poked with a sharp fork, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove to a baking sheet lined with paper towels; pat off excess oil.
Place 1/2 cup of the warm tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish. Add 3 cooked breasts to the baking dish; cover with 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce and half of the sliced mozzarella. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and sauce; top with mozzarella. Transfer to broiler, and broil until the cheese is melted and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the broiler, and serve immediately.

Tips:

To ensure that the chicken cutlets are evenly cooked, use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness.
For a crispy coating, use a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
To prevent the chicken cutlets from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick skillet or cooking spray.
Cook the chicken cutlets over medium heat until they are golden brown and cooked through.
To make a flavorful marinara sauce, use a combination of tomatoes, garlic, onions, and Italian herbs.
Top the chicken cutlets with mozzarella cheese and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve the chicken cutlets with a side of pasta, rice, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Chicken cutlet parmesan is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its crispy coating, flavorful marinara sauce, and melted mozzarella cheese, it is sure to be a hit at any gathering. Whether you are cooking for a family meal or a special occasion, this dish is sure to impress. So next time you are looking for a satisfying and easy-to-make meal, give chicken cutlet parmesan a try.
