CHICKEN PARMESAN

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

Kosher salt
8 ounces fresh mozzarella curd
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small Spanish onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Pinch of red pepper flakes
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano, optional
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of sugar, if needed
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 cups breadcrumbs
2 cups all-purpose flour, for dredging
4 large eggs, beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thinly between pieces of waxed paper or plastic wrap
1/2 cup canola oil
2 cups fresh arugula
1/2 lemon, juiced
Extra virgin olive oil, as needed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan, for garnish
Chopped fresh basil, for garnish
Fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the fresh mozzarella: Prepare a bowl of salted warm water and a separate bowl of salted ice water. In the salted warm water, soften the mozzarella curd and pull and shape into a ball. Drop into the salted ice bath to cool. Set aside and pat dry. Slice and let dry on a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • For the tomato sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds. Increase the heat to high and add the tomatoes and oregano if using. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Taste for seasoning (adding a pinch of sugar if needed) and stir in the basil.
  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a baking rack over a baking sheet and set aside.
  • Put the breadcrumbs, flour and beaten eggs in separate shallow dishes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle each chicken breast on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in the flour and tap off any excess, then dip in the egg wash and let the excess drip off. Finally, dredge in the breadcrumbs. Transfer the breasts to a baking sheet or large plate.
  • Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large saute pan over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Cook 2 breasts at a time in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the breasts to the baking rack on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and oil. Place in the oven to cook further for a couple minutes, then remove and set aside.
  • Change the oven setting to broil.
  • For the arugula salad: Dress the arugula in a large bowl with the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper and toss together.
  • Top each chicken breast with some tomato sauce and mozzarella slices. Broil until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese has melted, 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Place some arugula salad on each plate next to a chicken piece. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan, chopped basil and parsley sprigs.

1 cup milk
3 cups panko breadcrumbs
Six 6-ounce boneless skinless chicken breast
1 cup grapeseed oil
12 slices aged (low-moisture) mozzarella
1 quart Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
6 tablespoons grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
5 cups canned whole San Marzano tomatoes, plus liquid from the can
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
8 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
3 cups canned diced San Marzano tomatoes

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until just crisp-tender. Plunge into an ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain and reserve.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and reserve.
  • Place the oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to high broil.
  • Create a standard breading station in 3 separate 8-by-8-inch pans: Combine the flour, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper into the first pan. Whisk together the eggs and the milk in the second pan. Place the breadcrumbs in the third pan.
  • Trim any fat from the edges of the chicken breast and place each breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. With a meat mallet, pound out each breast until it is an even 1/4 inch thick.
  • Dredge each breasts using the standard breading: First in the flour, then in the egg wash and finally in the breadcrumbs, making sure to coat the entire breast.
  • Heat a large skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke and then reduce the heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the pan and gently place 2 breasts in the pan. Cook the chicken on the first side until the breading is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gently turn the breasts over and cook until the breading is golden brown on the other side, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts to a pan lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts, changing the oil between each batch.
  • Place the chicken breasts on rimmed baking sheets. Top each breast with 3 pieces of the broccolini and 2 slices of the mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melted and begins to brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • For plating: Bring the Tomato Sauce to a simmer in a large skillet. Add the pasta and cook until the pasta and sauce are hot.
  • Divide the pasta and sauce among 6 plates, mounding it in the center of each plate. Place a finished chicken breast on top of each mound. Sprinkle each plate with 1 tablespoon Parmesan and 1 teaspoon chopped parsley.
  • Combine the whole tomatoes and their liquid, the olive oil, onion, basil, oregano, salt, pepper and 4 cloves garlic in a large bowl or 2-gallon container and puree with an immersion blender until smooth.
  • Heat a large saute pan over high heat until it begins to smoke. Reduce the heat to medium, add the grapeseed oil and remaining 4 cloves garlic and quickly saute. Add the diced tomatoes and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pureed tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, remove from the heat. Bring back to a simmer when you are ready to plate.

CHICKEN PARMESAN



Chicken Parmesan image

My version of chicken parmesan is a little different than what they do in the restaurants, with less sauce and a crispier crust.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 eggs
1 cup panko bread crumbs, or more as needed
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or more if needed
1 cup olive oil for frying
½ cup prepared tomato sauce
¼ cup fresh mozzarella, cut into small cubes
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
½ cup grated provolone cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2-inch. Season chicken thoroughly with salt and pepper.
  • Beat eggs in a shallow bowl and set aside.
  • Mix bread crumbs and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl, set aside.
  • Place flour in a sifter or strainer; sprinkle over chicken breasts, evenly coating both sides.
  • Dip flour coated chicken breast in beaten eggs. Transfer breast to breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs into both sides. Repeat for each breast. Set aside breaded chicken breasts for about 15 minutes.
  • Heat 1 cup olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Cook chicken until golden, about 2 minutes on each side. The chicken will finish cooking in the oven.
  • Place chicken in a baking dish and top each breast with about 1/3 cup of tomato sauce. Layer each chicken breast with equal amounts of mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and provolone cheese. Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese on top and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is browned and bubbly, and chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • To make the chicken parmesan extra crispy, double-coat it in the flour, egg, and breadcrumb mixture.
  • Use a good quality marinara sauce for the best flavor. You can also make your own marinara sauce at home.
  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts thin.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Bake the chicken parmesan until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will ensure that it is cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken parmesan with a side of pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Chicken parmesan is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make at home. With a few simple ingredients, 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 parmesan a try.
