CHICKEN PARMESAN

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

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).

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ yellow onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
2 cans whole peeled tomato, 28 oz.
¼ cup fresh basil, roughly chopped
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ½ cups seasoned italian bread crumbs
¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 lb skinless, boneless chicken breasts, butterflied and pounded to ¼-inch (6 mm) thick
olive oil, for frying
1 ¾ cups grated mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
fresh basil
rigatoni, cooked
salad
italian bread

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Make the marinara sauce: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, 3-5 minutes. Drain one can of tomatoes, discarding the liquid. Add the drained and full remaining can of tomatoes and salt. Using a wooden spoon or potato masher, break up the tomatoes. Then simmer for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove the garlic cloves, and stir in the basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • While the sauce is simmering, make the chicken: Set out 2 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dishes. In one dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt. In the other dish, mix the bread crumbs with the Parmesan and mozzarella. Using one hand, coat the chicken in the egg mixture. Gently shake off the excess egg, then transfer to the bread crumb mixture. Use your other hand to coat the chicken evenly on both sides, pressing the breading to adhere. Set on a baking sheet and repeat with remaining chicken.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Set a baking sheet with a wire rack on top nearby. Add 1-2 pieces of chicken to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides, flipping once, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the cooked chicken on the wire rack to drain. Wipe out the skillet, add more olive oil as needed, and repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish. Arrange half of the chicken in a single layer over the sauce and top with half of the mozzarella. Add another layer of sauce and top with the remaining chicken, followed by the remaining mozzarella. Finish with a layer of sauce and top with the Parmesan.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 20-30 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken Parmesan from the oven and let sit for a few minutes before serving. Top with freshly torn basil, if desired, and serve with rigatoni, salad, and Italian bread alongside.
  • Enjoy!
