Steps:
- Heat broiler. Combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a shallow bowl. Season both sides of chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dip chicken in the beaten egg, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat both sides.
- Spread tomato sauce onto the bottom of a 10-by-15-inch baking dish. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Repeat with remaining oil and cutlets.

EASY CHICKEN EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) PARMESAN
This recipe is an easy recipe because you don't cook the chicken or the eggplant before putting them in the casserole. It's also easy because you use sauce from a jar. Of course, you can use your favorite homemade pasta sauce if desired.

Steps:
- The morning or the night before serving, combine Italian dressing, ranch dressing, 3 tablespoons minced garlic and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large zip lock bag. Squish bag around to combine all ingredients. Add chicken breasts to bag, close and squish until they are well coated in the dressing mixture. Put the bag in bowl (to prevent spills) and refrigerate all day or overnight up 24 hours. When ready to cook, Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit. Then mix 2 cups Parmesan cheese, with parsley, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the basil and oregano (each). Spray a large baking dish (big enough for all six breasts) with olive oil cooking spray. Remove chicken from baggie one by one and "dredge" in the cheese and spice mixture, until thoroughly coated in cheese mixture. Then place chicken in a single layer in the dish. When all chicken is coated, place chicken in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes (or until the internal temp is 155 degrees fahrenheit. While chicken bakes, in a large non stick sauce pan, make the sauce. Spray sauce pan with olive oil cooking spray (or use 1 tablespoon olive oil but do not use another flavor spray). Then saute onions and remaining garlic until tender and onions are translucent. Add tomato paste and tomato sauce to garlic and onions. Stir until smooth. Then add the remaining, oregano and basil and the other spices including the bay leaf. (At this point if sauce looks to thick for your liking add 1 tomato sauce can of water) Allow to simmer for the remainder of the baking time until you need it. When chicken has baked 20 minutes, remove from oven and top each breast with sauce (to your liking, we cover the whole thing) then top with 1/4 cup of Mozzarella cheese (again to your liking) put baking dish back into the oven for 10 more minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Then switch your broiler on to brown cheese (optional). Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve it up, I have never had anyone not finish this!

EASY PARMESAN GARLIC CHICKEN
Steps:
- see above
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are the most popular choice for chicken parmesan, but you can also use chicken thighs or cutlets. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them thin to ensure even cooking.
- Season the chicken well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to flavor the chicken. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
- Dredge the chicken in flour. This will help the chicken to brown nicely and will also help the breading to adhere.
- Use panko breadcrumbs. Panko breadcrumbs are lighter and crispier than regular breadcrumbs, which makes them ideal for chicken parmesan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When frying the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan or the chicken will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Use a good quality marinara sauce. The marinara sauce is what really makes chicken parmesan, so be sure to use a good quality sauce. You can make your own marinara sauce or use a store-bought sauce.
- Don't skimp on the cheese. Mozzarella cheese is the classic cheese for chicken parmesan, but you can also use other cheeses, such as Parmesan, Romano, or Asiago.
- Broil the chicken until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will give the chicken parmesan a nice, golden brown crust.
Conclusion:
Chicken parmesan is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make chicken parmesan that is sure to impress your family and friends.
