Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts, (about 3 pounds total), split and trimmed of fat
2 cups milk
4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
6 large eggs, beaten
6 cups unseasoned dry breadcrumbs
Pinch of salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups Mark Strausman's Tomato Sauce Mark Strausman's Tomato Sauce, warmed
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Using a meat tenderizer or a heavy skillet, pound chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic until flat, about 1/4 inch in thickness. Place milk, flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow baking dishes. Season eggs with a pinch of salt. Dip each breast in the following order: milk, flour (shake off excess), eggs, and breadcrumbs (press down firmly while coating with breadcrumbs).
  • In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium-high heat until sizzling. Arrange chicken breasts in the pan without crowding, cooking in batches if necessary. Reduce the heat, and cook chicken until golden brown and juices run clear when poked with a sharp fork, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove to a baking sheet lined with paper towels; pat off excess oil.
  • Place 1/2 cup of the warm tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish. Add 3 cooked breasts to the baking dish; cover with 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce and half of the sliced mozzarella. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and sauce; top with mozzarella. Transfer to broiler, and broil until the cheese is melted and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the broiler, and serve immediately.

PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN CUTLETS



Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Cutlets image

We love chicken parmesan and are always searching for a new or different version of preparing. I watched America's Test Kitchen and thought WOW - have to try this and soon! Note: The chicken breasts will be easier to slice into cutlets if you freeze them for 15 minutes until firm but not fully frozen. To slice in half, place one hand on top of the breast to secure it, hold a chef's knife parallel to the cutting board, and slice through the middle of the breast horizontally. Note that 1/2 ounce of Parmesan is grated on the smallest holes of a box grater (or Microplane rasp grater); the remaining 6 ounces are shredded on the largest holes of the box grater (see photos below). We like the flavor that authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano lends to this recipe. Less-expensive DiGiorno Parmesan cheese can also be used, but the resulting cheese crust will be slightly saltier and chewier. Serve this chicken with a simple salad. Although the portion size (1 cutlet per person) might seem small, these cutlets are rather rich due to the cheese content. To make 8 cutlets, double the ingredients and cook the chicken in 4 batches, transferring the cooked cutlets to a warm oven and wiping out the skillet after each batch.

Time 22m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (8 ounces each tenderloins removed, breasts trimmed of excess fat and halved horizontally)
1/2 teaspoon salt & fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, plus
1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 ounce grated parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup, see note above)
3 large egg whites
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives (optional)
6 ounces shredded parmesan cheese, see note above (about 2 cups)
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 200 degrees. Place chicken between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to even 1/4-inch thickness. Pat dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Set wire rack on rimmed baking sheet. Whisk together 1/4 cup flour and grated Parmesan cheese in pie plate. In medium bowl, whisk egg whites and chives (if using) together until slightly foamy. In second pie plate, combine 2 cups shredded Parmesan and remaining tablespoon flour.
  • Using tongs and working with 1 cutlet at a time, coat chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Transfer chicken to egg-white mixture; coat evenly and let excess run off. Coat chicken with shredded Parmesan mixture, pressing gently so that cheese adheres. Place on wire rack.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place 2 cutlets in skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cook until cheese is pale golden brown, about 3 minutes. While chicken is cooking, use thin nonstick spatula to gently separate any cheesy edges that have melted together. Carefully flip cutlets and continue to cook until cheese is pale golden brown on second side and meat is no longer pink in center, about 3 minutes. Transfer chicken to wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Wipe out skillet with paper towel and return to medium heat. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil and cook remaining 2 cutlets.
  • Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

  • Press the breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the chicken cutlets to help it adhere.
  • Place the chicken cutlets on a greased baking sheet to prevent them from sticking.
  • Bake the chicken cutlets for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
  • Serve the chicken cutlets immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Baked Parmesan Chicken Cutlets are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken cutlets are tender and juicy, and the Parmesan cheese crust is crispy and flavorful.
