CHICKEN STOVE-TOP PARMESAN CASSEROLE
I just made this up today. Had two chicken breasts I had to use. It's too hot to even think about turning on the oven. And we needed the potassium from the potatoes. Turned out pretty good.

STOVE TOP PARMESAN CHICKEN
Steps:
- 1. Dip chicken pieces in slightly beaten eggs, then dip in bread crumbs.
- 2. Fry in skillet on stovetop in "I Can't Believe It's Butter" spray (no calories!) on medium high heat until brown. Turn down heat, cook until done in center.
- 3. When done, pour small jar of Barilla's Spicy Marinara sauce over chicken. Cook on low until sauce is thoroughly heated. (At this point, you can also transfer it to a baking dish and put in the oven if you want to slow it down a little bit). The acid in the marinara sauce makes the chicken VERY tender.
- 4. Top with shredded parmesan cheese (not the powder) and shredded mozzarella. (I mix the two together before putting on chicken).
- 5. Cook, (covered) until cheese is melted. Serve with a veggie and salad and you have dinner!
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- For a crispy crust, make sure the chicken is patted dry before cooking.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to flatten the chicken breasts.
- To make the chicken more flavorful, marinate it in the Parmesan cheese mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Stove-top Parmesan chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The chicken is tender and juicy, with a crispy Parmesan crust. The sauce is creamy and flavorful, and the whole dish comes together in just 30 minutes. So next time you're looking for a simple but delicious dinner, give this recipe a try.
