Provided by Chef John

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

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     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 lemon, juiced and zested
2 teaspoons dried tarragon
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
16 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 slices provolone cheese
1 cup panko bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Grease a baking dish. In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, tarragon, salt, and pepper until the mixture is well combined. Set aside.
  • Cook asparagus in the microwave on High until bright green and just tender, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Set the asparagus spears aside. Place a chicken breast between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken breast with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Repeat with the rest of the chicken breasts.
  • Place 1 slice of provolone on each chicken breast, and top the cheese with 4 asparagus spears per breast. Roll the chicken breasts around the asparagus and cheese, making a tidy package, and place, seam sides down, in the prepared baking dish. With a pastry brush, apply a coating of the mayonnaise mixture to each chicken breast, and sprinkle each with panko crumbs, pressing the crumbs into the chicken to make a coating.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the crumbs are browned and the chicken juices run clear, about 25 minutes.

BAKED CHICKEN PROVOLONE



Baked Chicken Provolone image

This is a variation of a recipe my late mother cooked often as a child. Enjoy

Provided by Shannon King

Categories     Pasta

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
4 slice provolone cheese
2 Tbsp garlic, minced
1 jar(s) tomato sweet basil pasta sauce
1 pkg pasta of choice
1 fl olive oil, extra virgin

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven 350 degrees. Using a meat tenderizer, flatten the 4 Chicken Breast, just enough to be able to "roll" the breast. Separate the 2 Tablespoons of Minced Garlic into four portions. Rub each chicken breast with minced garlic. Place one slice of Provolone Cheese on top of the flattened Chicken breast. Roll, from one corner to the other, the Breast with cheese. Use Toothpicks to hold roll together. *Make sure all the cheese is tucked in so you won't have too much lost in baking. Once you have all four breast rolled and placed into a 8x8 Baking Dish, pour 1/2 jar of Pasta Sauce over chicken. Bake in oven, uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until meat thermometer surpasses 160 degrees.
  • 2. While Chicken Breast are cooking, prepare your pasta of choice. Cook and Drain well. Coat pasta with Olive oil. *Best to wait until the last 10-15 minutes on the cooking time for the Breast before preparing your pasta.
  • 3. Once Chicken has cooked completely, remove from oven and set for 2 minutes. Using your pasta of choice, place pasta first onto plate. Place one Breast in center of pasta, laddle remaining pasta sauce over chicken and garnish with cheese.
  • 4. A nice spinach Salad with cucumbers goes well with this dish. Don't forget your bread! French loaf, warmed with butter.

Crispy Baked Chicken with Giardiniera image

Perfectly tender and juicy chicken cutlets are topped with mild or hot giardiniera (your choice!) and provolone cheese. Play around with different crouton flavors for variety. This recipe was inspired by one of my favorite dishes at a local winery's restaurant.

Provided by France C

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ cups butter and garlic croutons
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup giardiniera
4 slices provolone cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Pound chicken breasts with a meat mallet to an even 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Pulse croutons in a small food processor until they have a fine consistency. Put flour, eggs, and crouton crumbs into 3 separate shallow dishes.
  • Dip each breast first into flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip into egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Coat chicken in crouton crumbs and set on a plate.
  • Heat oil over medium heat in a large oven-proof skillet until hot. Fry chicken for 2 minutes, flip, and fry an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Top each breast with 2 tablespoons giardiniera and 1 slice of cheese.
  • Cook in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Top with parsley before serving.

Tips:

  • If you don't have provolone cheese, you can substitute another type of hard or semi-hard cheese, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or Parmesan.
  • Serve the baked chicken provolone with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.

Conclusion:
