CRISPY PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN



Crispy Parmesan Crusted Chicken image

Recipe video above. This ultra crispy Parmesan Crusted Chicken is 5 ingredient, 10 minute magic that happens to be gluten free. The idea with this recipe is that shredded parmesan melts, tuns golden and adheres to the chicken, forming a crust. Parmesan has such an intense flavour that you don't need any other seasonings in this. It tastes like schnitzel, but the coating flavour is far stronger and crunchier (but no carbs!) but is not as thick as a traditional breadcrumb coating. Serve it with cauliflower mash with browned butter for the ultimate low-carb meal!

Provided by Nagi

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

500 g / 1 lb chicken breast (2 pieces) ( (Note 1))
1 egg
1 garlic clove (, minced (optional))
Salt and pepper
125 g / 4 oz / 1 1/4 cups shredded parmesan ((Note 2))
2 tbsp butter ((or more oil))
1 tbsp olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut each breast in half horizontally to make 4 steaks. If they are much thicker than 1.75 cm / 3/4" thick (at the thickest point), pound a bit.
  • Place egg, garlic, pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk with fork.
  • Place parmesan in a shallow bowl.
  • Dredge chicken in egg, then place in parmesan CUT SIDE DOWN (Note 3). Press, then turn. Coat with extra parmesan, press. Shake off excess. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Melt butter and heat oil in a large skillet over high heat.
  • Place chicken in non-stick skillet (or well seasoned cast iron skillet). DO NOT MOVE chicken otherwise the cheese will slide off surface before it adheres! It adheres once it turns crispy.
  • Press down lightly with spatula. Lift a corner to take a peek and turn with tongs when it's deep golden brown (3 minutes for me).
  • Cook the other side for 3 minutes or until also deep golden brown and crispy (again, do not move until golden). Lightly press down with spatula. Don't cook longer than 6 minutes in total - dries out the chicken.
  • Serve immediately! I served mine with lemon slices, Cauliflower Mash and a Fennel Slaw with Yoghurt Dressing (Note 5).

CRISPY PARMESAN CHICKEN



Crispy Parmesan Chicken image

FOR US, chicken breasts prepared this way is a nice reminder of when abalone was found in markets and menus on the West Coast. These days, abalone is scarce, so my son discovered a way to prepare chicken to resemble our favorite food. It's a wonderful, simple recipe. -Marian Platt, Sequim, Washington

RITZY CHEDDAR CHICKEN BREASTS



Ritzy Cheddar Chicken Breasts image

They're as good as they sound: cheesy chicken cutlets coated with buttery Ritz crackers. Skipping the usual flour-egg-bread crumb dredge, this recipe relies instead on a flavorful base layer of tangy sour cream, which has lactic acid that tenderizes boneless, skinless chicken breasts beautifully. When it comes to breaded white meat, thin cutlets are ideal, which you can buy from the store or achieve by slicing thick breasts in half horizontally (no pounding necessary). They cook more evenly this way, staying tender throughout as they're quickly baked in a hot oven. Serve with something fresh - a big green salad, perhaps - to balance the wonderful richness of this nostalgic number.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, poultry, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for greasing wire rack
1/4 cup sour cream
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
1 sleeve Ritz crackers (about 100 grams)
2 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (about 1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Steps:

  • Position rack in the bottom third of the oven and heat oven to 450 degrees. Place an ovenproof wire rack over a sheet pan. Dab a folded-up paper towel with olive oil and rub it over the wire rack to grease it.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, egg white and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with salt. Lay the chicken flat on a cutting board and carve each breast in half horizontally so you end up with four thin cutlets. Add the chicken to the sour cream mixture, and using your hands, smear the sour cream all over the chicken.
  • In a large bowl, crush the Ritz crackers into coarse pieces with your fingers. Some crackers will turn to rubble while others turn to dust. Add the cheese, garlic powder, onion powder and olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss until evenly distributed. Holding one of the chicken cutlets by its thinner end, add to the bowl with the crumbs, and using your hands, pack the crumbs onto the chicken, pressing them in to create a thick coating. Transfer the breaded chicken to the rack in the sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining three cutlets.
  • Bake the cutlets until the outsides are crispy and the insides are no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Let the chicken cool slightly so the coating can set, about 5 minutes, before transferring to plates and serving.

EASY CHEESY CHICKEN PARMESAN



Easy Cheesy Chicken Parmesan image

This is a quick, easy way to make chicken parmesan. The chicken breasts are baked--not fried--so I like to think it's a healthier version. Enjoy!

Provided by MarthaStewartWanabe

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup breadcrumbs, dried, seasoned
1 (24 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
2/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 lb spaghetti, cooked (per package instructions)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Place bread crumbs in a wide, shallow bowl. Whisk together egg and milk In another wide, shallow bowl. Dredge chicken breasts one at a time in the egg mixture first and then in the bread crumbs. Place coated breasts side-by-side in a baking dish.
  • Dividing evenly, top each breast with 3/4 cup mozzarella and then follow with 1/3 cup parmesan.
  • Divide spaghetti sauce evenly and spoon over each breast.
  • Top each breast with remaining mozzarella and parmesan in the same order as above.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until juices from chicken breasts run clear and cheese topping is lightly browned.
  • During last 15 minutes of chicken's cooking time, prepare spaghetti per package instructions.
  • Serve over hot, cooked spaghetti.

Tips:

  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken breasts. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
