SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN PARMESAN



Slow-Cooker Chicken Parmesan image

s my love making this satisfying dish--it's easy and elegant, and the slow cooker minimizes my time in the kitchen. I make this during football season, too. For game days, I skip the pasta and serve the chicken on submarine rolls with a bit of the sauce and some chopped lettuce. You could also cut the chicken breasts in half and make sliders. -Bonnie Hawkins, Elkhorn, Wisconsin

5-INGREDIENT CHICKEN PARM



5-Ingredient Chicken Parm image

An absolutely tasty and versatile dish. I have prepared this for two of us and for 100 men on a men's retreat and with the same consistency of flavor.

Provided by Jim Trebilcox

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup breadcrumbs (pref. Italian seasoned)
1 (26 ounce) can spaghetti sauce (or equiv. homemade, I use Prego because it is sweeter than most.)
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, fresh grated

Steps:

  • Wash and pat the chicken breasts dry and then coat them with the breadcrumbs (I push hard on them while coating them to break the tissue down and make them even more tender).
  • After the chicken breasts are breaded, fry them either in a teflon skillet or with a little olive oil (if you use olive oil, you must count it as part of the fat in the nutritional breakdown).
  • Fry the breasts until they are completely cooked.
  • Pour 1/2 of the spaghetti sauce into a 9"x5" casserole dish.
  • Place the cooked chicken breasts on top of the sauce.
  • Pour the remaining spaghetti sauce on top of the chicken breasts.
  • Sprinkle both cheeses on top Put the dish into a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes, or long enough to warm all the sauce and breasts throughly and melt the cheese.
  • Serve over spaghetti (or rice!).

SPEEDY CHICKEN PARM



Speedy Chicken Parm image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup Israeli couscous
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 to 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (225 to 450 grams/8 ounces to 1 pound)
1 egg
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup ground Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh basil, plus more for serving
1 to 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • For the couscous: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the couscous and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to low and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until all of the broth has been absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside, covered, for 5 minutes.
  • For the chicken: Place the chicken between two sheets of wax or parchment paper and, using a meat mallet, rolling pin or a small skillet, lightly and evenly pound until 3/4-to 1-centimeter (generous 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch) thick, then cut into two equal portions and set aside. If making the dish for four, continue with a second chicken breast.
  • In a shallow dish, beat together the egg, mayonnaise, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. In a separate shallow dish, combine the ground Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and breadcrumbs. Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dip the chicken into the egg mixture to coat, then toss in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the coating to the chicken.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Heat the oil and add the chicken. Cook for 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through to 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), adjusting the heat as necessary. Remove the chicken to a plate to rest.
  • For the tomatoes: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin releasing some juices, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, cook for an additional minute. Stir in the basil and red wine vinegar, to taste.
  • To serve, remove the lid from the couscous and give it a stir to loosen. Divide the couscous onto plates and top with the chicken and sautéed tomatoes. Garnish with additional Parmigiano and fresh basil.

AIR FRYER CHICKEN PARM RECIPE BY TASTY



Air Fryer Chicken Parm Recipe by Tasty image

What can't the air fryer do? Here, we use the handy appliance to make super crispy, golden brown chicken Parm. First, air fry the chicken breasts, then top with marinara and mozzarella and return to the air fryer to melt the cheese to gooey perfection.

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Lunch

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 cup all purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
1 cup parmesan cheese
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 cup marinara sauce
1 ball fresh mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • On a cutting board, slice each chicken breast in half horizontally, creating 2 cutlets. Place the chicken breast pieces, 1 at a time, in a large zip-top bag. Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken to ¼-inch-thick. Transfer the chicken to the cutting board and pat dry with a paper towel. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Add the panko and Parmesan to a third shallow bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Coat the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip in the eggs, letting any excess drip off. Finally, coat in the panko mixture, making sure all sides are covered. Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray.
  • Place 2 of the chicken pieces in the basket and cook until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Spread ¼ cup of marinara sauce over each piece of chicken. Top with 2 slices of mozzarella. Return to the air fryer until the cheese is melted and golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C), about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Top with the parsley and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
