Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Parmesan Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 egg whites, lightly beaten
2 (16 ounce) jars Alfredo sauce
2 (14.5 ounce) cans Italian-style diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat; cook and stir mushrooms and spinach until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially for the chicken and cheese. Fresh, free-range chicken and a flavorful, melty cheese like mozzarella or Parmesan will make all the difference.
  • Pound the chicken breasts thin to ensure even cooking and a tender texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to prevent steaming and ensure a crispy crust.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. A good marinara sauce is essential for a delicious chicken parmesan. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own from scratch.
  • Don't skip the cheese layer. The cheese is what makes chicken parmesan so rich and satisfying. Use a generous amount of cheese, and make sure it's melted and bubbly before serving.
  • Serve chicken parmesan with your favorite pasta. Penne, spaghetti, and linguine are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Chicken parmesan is a classic Italian dish that is loved by people of all ages. It's a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Whether you're making it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, chicken parmesan is sure to be a hit.
