Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

6-8 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless (can buy the thin sliced or pound them thin)
salt and pepper to season chicken
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
4 eggs, beaten
2 c bread crumbs, seasoned
1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese
1 pkg shredded mozzarella (8 oz)
1 Tbsp chopped basil or parsley, for garnish
1 c cooking oil (any type)
1 jar(s) your favorite marinara sauce, any type (45 oz)

Steps:

1. If your cutlets are really thick it will take too long to cook. I like to pound them thin between two pieces of clear wrap or place them in a plastic bag and pound with a food mallet.
2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
3. Set up your workstation with bread crumbs, flour, and egg.
4. Dip each cutlet in flour.
5. Then egg.
6. Coat in bread crumbs.
7. Once they are all ready, fry in a pan with heated cooking oil until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes on each side). If you have a big frying pan you can do them in two batches. If you have a smaller frying pan and need to fry in multiple batches, don't use all the oil at one as it may be too much.
8. Transfer to a long baking pan lined with about a cup of tomato sauce.
9. Top each cutlet with some tomato sauce.
10. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and mozzarella over the cutlets.
11. Bake in a 350-degree oven for about 30 minutes or until cheese melts. Cooking time may be less depending on the thickness of the cutlets.
12. Remove from the oven and sprinkle some basil or parsley.

Tips:

Use high-quality chicken breasts. Look for ones that are plump and evenly colored.
Pound the chicken breasts thin. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
Use a flavorful breadcrumb mixture. A good breadcrumb mixture will add flavor and texture to the chicken.
Fry the chicken in olive oil. Olive oil is a healthy choice for frying, and it will give the chicken a nice crispy coating.
Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly.
Use a good quality marinara sauce. A good marinara sauce will make all the difference in the flavor of the dish.
Top the chicken with plenty of cheese. Mozzarella cheese is the classic choice, but you can also use Parmesan, Romano, or a combination of cheeses.
Bake the chicken until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
Serve the chicken immediately. Chicken Parmesan is best served hot out of the oven.

Chicken Parmesan is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With these tips, you can make the best Chicken Parmesan you've ever tasted. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
