CHICKEN PARMESAN



Chicken Parmesan image

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

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     Poultry

Time 41m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 beaten eggs
2 tablespoons water
1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
marinara sauce, as needed
mozzarella cheese, as needed

Steps:

  • In a pie plate put the flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.
  • In a second pie plate put the eggs and water. Beat together with a fork and set aside.
  • In a third pie plate put the seasoned break crumbs and the panko (Japanese bread crumbs). Stir to combine and set aside.
  • In a large nonstick frying pan put the oil and butter and heat over medium heat until the butter melts.
  • Wash one chicken breast under cold running water and then dip in the flour mixture, covering well.
  • Next, dip the chicken in the egg mixture.
  • Finally, dip the chicken in the bread crumbs and then put into the frying pan.
  • Repeat with 1-2 more chicken breast pieces and then fry until the chicken breasts are golden on both sides and a fork pierced into the meat shows that the meat is tender and cooked through.
  • As the chicken pieces cook, remove the cooked pieces and add more to the pan until you have cooked 4-6 chicken breast pieces.
  • To plate put a little marinara sauce on the plate. Top with a piece of cooked chicken. Top with some more marinara sauce, fresh chopped basil and the mozzarella cheese on the very top. Either broil in the oven or heat in the microwave just until the cheese melts.
  • Serve at once with pasta on the side.
  • Note: I usually either buy thin slices of chicken breast, buy chicken breast pieces that are not very fat, or pound the chicken breasts to flatten them.

CHICKEN PARMESAN



Chicken Parmesan image

A classic Italian-American Parmesan - a casserole of fried, breaded meat or eggplant covered with tomato sauce and molten cheese - is all about balance. You need a bracing a tomato sauce to cut out the fried richness, while a milky, mild mozzarella rounds out the Parmesan's tang. Baked until brown-edged and bubbling, it's classic comfort food - hearty, gooey and satisfying. Although chicken or veal cutlets are the standard, boneless, skinless chicken thighs make a more flavorful alternative. Pork or turkey cutlets work nicely here, too.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken, turkey or pork cutlets (or use chicken thighs for even more flavor)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
2 to 3 cups panko bread crumbs, as needed
Kosher salt, as needed
Black pepper, as needed
Olive oil, for frying
5 cups Simple Tomato Sauce (see recipe)
1 cup finely grated Parmesan, preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, torn into bite-sized pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place cutlets between two pieces of parchment or plastic wrap. Using a kitchen mallet or rolling pin, pound meat to even 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Place flour, eggs and panko into three wide, shallow bowls. Season meat generously with salt and pepper. Dip a piece in flour, then eggs, then coat with panko. Repeat until all the meat is coated.
  • Fill a large skillet with 1/2-inch oil. Place over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, fry cutlets in batches, turning halfway through, until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Spoon a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle one-third of the Parmesan over sauce. Place half of the cutlets over the Parmesan and top with half the mozzarella pieces. Top with half the remaining sauce, sprinkle with another third of the Parmesan, and repeat layering, ending with a final layer of sauce and Parmesan.
  • Transfer pan to oven and bake until cheese is golden and casserole is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Let cool a few minutes before serving.
