PARMESAN & PANKO CRUSTED CHICKEN



Parmesan & Panko Crusted Chicken image

This recipe was adapted from the recipe I found on the back of a Best Food Mayonaise jar. The mayonaise helps provide a moist piece of chicken and helps adhere the panko and cheese to the chicken. Feel free to add more/less of italian seasoning/garlic powder to taste. We are huge fans of garlic so I up the quantity used for our household.

Crunchy Lemon-Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Tenders image

These chicken tenders are fast to make and live up to the name of crunchy chicken tenders. They look larger, because they're pounded out. Do not skip the step of pounding the tenders as it helps to cook the tenders quickly! Also make sure you are using a block of Parmesan and not the green bottle stuff. Serve with your favorite sauce (mine is ranch). Enjoy!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 large eggs
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
1/2 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
1 3/4 cups tomato sauce, homemade or storebought
4 ounces part-skim mozzarella, shredded (about 1 cup)
8 ounces penne rigate (ridged) or other short pasta
1 package (10 ounces) frozen broccoli florets, thawed
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs. In another bowl, combine Parmesan and breadcrumbs. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dip tenders in egg, then in Parmesan mixture; place on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until golden, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spread 1 cup tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Then top with chicken, remaining sauce, and finally mozzarella. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in boiling water until al dente, according to package instructions, adding broccoli for final 30 seconds. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain pasta and broccoli, and return to pot. Add oil and remaining Parmesan. Toss, gradually adding some reserved pasta water until pasta is lightly coated.

Tips:

  • Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
  • Make sure the chicken is completely coated in the egg mixture before dredging it in the panko breadcrumbs. This will help the breadcrumbs adhere to the chicken and create a crispy crust.
  • Use a shallow dish for dredging the chicken in the panko breadcrumbs. This will help to ensure that the chicken is evenly coated.
  • Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before frying the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan and will also help to create a crispy crust.
  • Fry the chicken in batches so that the oil does not get too crowded. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking together and will also help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Drain the chicken on paper towels before serving. This will help to remove any excess oil.

Conclusion:

Parmesan and panko chicken tenders are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a party or a casual weeknight meal. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or honey mustard.
