Chicken cutlet parmesan with tomato sauce is an Italian-American dish consisting of a breaded and fried chicken cutlet topped with marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese. It can be made using boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut and pounded thin. The chicken is then coated with seasoned breadcrumbs and fried until golden brown. The marinara sauce is made from tomatoes, garlic, oregano, and basil, simmered together until thick and flavorful. The Parmesan cheese melts over the chicken and sauce, creating a delicious, cheesy topping. This dish is typically served with a side of spaghetti or other pasta and can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as an appetizer.

CHICKEN CUTLETS WITH BURRATA AND MELTED BABY TOMATO SAUCE



Chicken Cutlets with Burrata and Melted Baby Tomato Sauce image

Scott Conant tested the recipes in his newest cookbook, Peace, Love, and Pasta, in a way he never has before: in his home kitchen, surrounded by his family. The Chopped judge wrote the entire book during quarantine. "It really represents this transition I've had over time, from cooking all my meals in restaurants to cooking at home for my children," he says. Instead of filling the pages with complicated, chef-y recipes, he decided to share takes on Italian-American classics, like these chicken cutlets with burrata and tomato sauce - a simple twist on chicken parm. "The flavors are so vibrant," Scott says. And because the cutlets are cooked on the stove, not baked, they're faster than classic chicken parm, too!

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings, plus 3 1/2 cups of melted baby tomato sauce

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
2 large eggs
4 cups panko
1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
4 boneless chicken thighs or breasts, pounded 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick with a meat mallet
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 to 5 sprigs thyme
1 recipe Melted Baby Tomato Sauce (recipe follows)
1 cup burrata, at room temperature
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon thinly sliced garlic
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
4 cups mixed cherry tomatoes, cut in half
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • In a shallow bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt. In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs with a splash of water and a pinch of salt. In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko, oregano, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt. Lightly sprinkle salt over the chicken thighs, then dredge 1 seasoned chicken thigh in the flour, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Shake off the excess flour, then dip the thigh into the seasoned egg wash, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Let the excess egg mixture drip off, then dip the thigh into the panko mixture, pressing down to coat the chicken thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture on both sides. Set aside and repeat with the rest of the chicken.
  • Heat the oil in a large sauté pan set over medium heat and add the breaded chicken cutlets, working in batches if necessary. Cook until the breading is golden brown on the bottom, 7 to 9 minutes, then flip and add the butter and thyme to the pan. Cook the second side of the cutlets until golden brown, basting with the browning butter, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate and lightly sprinkle salt over each one. Repeat until all the cutlets have been fried.
  • Divide the cutlets among four dinner plates. Spoon melted baby tomato sauce over the top, then add a few spoonfuls of burrata on top of the tomatoes. Season with additional salt to taste and serve immediately.
  • In a sauté pan, heat the oil slightly over low heat. Add the garlic slices, oregano and red pepper flakes and sauté for 30 seconds. Before the garlic has taken on any color, add the cherry tomatoes to the pan, turn the heat up to medium high, season with a pinch of salt and continue to sauté as the tomatoes release their juices. Once the juices and the pectin from the tomatoes have combined with the oil and have started to form a nice sauce (about 8 to 10 minutes), stir in the basil. Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning with salt. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days until ready to use.

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Eight 3-ounce chicken cutlets
1 1/2 cups Simple Tomato Sauce, recipe follows, or purchased marinara sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
16 teaspoons grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 32-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
4 to 6 fresh basil leaves
2 dried bay leaves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Stir the oil and herbs in a small bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Brush both sides of the cutlets with the herb oil. Heat a large heavy oven-proof skillet over high heat. Add the cutlets and cook just until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Spoon the marinara sauce over and around the cutlets. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the mozzarella over each cutlet, then sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the Parmesan over each. Sprinkle the butter pieces atop the cutlets. Bake until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes.;
  • In a large casserole pot, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, basil, and bay leaves and simmer covered on low heat for 1 hour or until thick. Remove the bay leaves and check for seasoning. If the sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors. Add half the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with the remaining tomato sauce.
  • If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and pour 1 to 2 cup portions into freezer plastic bags. This will freeze up to 6 months.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Parmesan Recipes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes (quality varies dramatically; I prefer Redpack, Progresso and Muir Glen brands)
½ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each), halved crosswise
1 large egg
½ cup dry bread crumbs
8 ounces spaghetti or linguine
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup grated part-skim mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for passing at the table

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat garlic and 2 Tbs. oil over medium-high heat until garlic starts to sizzle. Stir in tomatoes, basil, oregano, sugar, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer; simmer until sauce thickens a bit and flavors meld, 10 to 12 minutes. Cover and keep warm. (Remember, this makes twice the amount of sauce you need, so put aside half for another meal.)
  • Put chicken pieces between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound, using your fists or a heavy pan, until the cutlets are about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large soup kettle.
  • In a pie pan, beat egg until well-blended. In another pie pan, mix bread crumbs and more black pepper. Preheat broiler.
  • Working one cutlet at a time, dip both sides of each in beaten egg, then in bread crumbs. Put cutlets on a wire rack set over a cookie sheet (this step helps breading stay put).
  • Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch skillet. When oil starts to shimmer, add cutlets and saute until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes total. Wash and dry the wire rack and return to cookie sheet. As the cutlets saute, cook pasta in boiling water according to package directions.
  • Transfer cutlets to clean wire rack over cookie sheet. Top each with a portion of the cheeses. Broil cutlets, 4 to 5 inches from heat source, until cheese melts and is spotty brown.
  • Drain pasta. Put a cutlet and a portion of pasta on each of 4 plates. Spoon 2 or 3 tablespoons of sauce over part of each cutlet, then sauce the pasta as desired. Serve with extra Parmesan.

CHICKEN PARMESAN



Chicken Parmesan image

A classic Italian-American Parmesan - a casserole of fried, breaded meat or eggplant covered with tomato sauce and molten cheese - is all about balance. You need a bracing a tomato sauce to cut out the fried richness, while a milky, mild mozzarella rounds out the Parmesan's tang. Baked until brown-edged and bubbling, it's classic comfort food - hearty, gooey and satisfying. Although chicken or veal cutlets are the standard, boneless, skinless chicken thighs make a more flavorful alternative. Pork or turkey cutlets work nicely here, too.

Categories     dinner, lunch, casseroles, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken, turkey or pork cutlets (or use chicken thighs for even more flavor)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
2 to 3 cups panko bread crumbs, as needed
Kosher salt, as needed
Black pepper, as needed
Olive oil, for frying
5 cups Simple Tomato Sauce (see recipe)
1 cup finely grated Parmesan, preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, torn into bite-sized pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place cutlets between two pieces of parchment or plastic wrap. Using a kitchen mallet or rolling pin, pound meat to even 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Place flour, eggs and panko into three wide, shallow bowls. Season meat generously with salt and pepper. Dip a piece in flour, then eggs, then coat with panko. Repeat until all the meat is coated.
  • Fill a large skillet with 1/2-inch oil. Place over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, fry cutlets in batches, turning halfway through, until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Spoon a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle one-third of the Parmesan over sauce. Place half of the cutlets over the Parmesan and top with half the mozzarella pieces. Top with half the remaining sauce, sprinkle with another third of the Parmesan, and repeat layering, ending with a final layer of sauce and Parmesan.
  • Transfer pan to oven and bake until cheese is golden and casserole is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Let cool a few minutes before serving.

CHICKEN CUTLET PARMESAN



Chicken Cutlet Parmesan image

Mark Strausman of the Campagna restaurant, in New York City, promises that this fried chicken stays crispy even after it's baked in the sauce.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

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:

  • Choose the right chicken cutlets. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work well for this recipe. Make sure they are evenly thick, so they cook evenly.
  • Pound the chicken cutlets. This helps to tenderize the chicken and make it more evenly cooked. You can use a meat mallet or a rolling pin to do this.
  • Season the chicken cutlets. Before breading and frying the chicken cutlets, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to add flavor to the chicken.
  • Use a good breading. The breading is what gives the chicken cutlets their crispy coating. Use a mixture of breadcrumbs, flour, and Parmesan cheese. You can also add herbs or spices to the breading for extra flavor.
  • Fry the chicken cutlets. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. Fry the chicken cutlets in batches until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Make the tomato sauce. While the chicken cutlets are frying, make the tomato sauce. This can be done by simmering tomatoes, garlic, onions, and herbs in a saucepan. You can also add other ingredients to the sauce, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives.
  • Assemble the chicken cutlet Parmesan. Once the chicken cutlets and tomato sauce are done, it's time to assemble the chicken cutlet Parmesan. Place a chicken cutlet on a plate and top it with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Bake the chicken cutlets in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Chicken cutlet Parmesan is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, give chicken cutlet Parmesan a try.
