CRISPY PARMESAN CHICKEN
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

CRISPY PARMESAN ROAST CHICKEN
Here's a recipe for roasted chicken with a twist-a crispy crust made by patting the bird with a generous amount of grated Parmesan. We spatchcocked the chicken by removing the backbone and flattening it, for more even and faster cooking. Then it's roasted atop aromatics for a quick one-dish weeknight meal. Be sure to scoop out the garlic for spreading on the chicken-or crusty bread served alongside.

Steps:
- Combine the minced thyme, minced rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Scatter the herb sprigs, lemon and onion wedges, garlic and carrots in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Using poultry shears, cut along both sides of the backbone to remove it. Open the chicken breast-side up and press firmly in the center of the breast to flatten. Sprinkle the salt mixture over both sides of the chicken. Place the chicken on top of the aromatics in the baking dish, tucking the wing tips under, and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
- When ready to roast, position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
- Drizzle the chicken with the olive oil and sprinkle all over with the Parmesan. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into a thigh reaches 165 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve on a platter with the roasted carrots, lemon, onion and garlic.

CRISPY PARMESAN CHICKEN BREASTS
I found this from Yahoo food, I believe it's a Kraft recipe. I tried this out since my DH loves anything with parmesan. It is so delicious and unbelievably easy. I usually cut the chicken breasts into tenders because I prefer a heavier crispy:chicken ratio. I usually tweak the recipe by adding extra breadcrumbs as well. This is an easy basic format for chicken that we eat almost weekly!

CRISPY PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN

Excellent served with roasted new potatoes. Don't be intimidated by the number of ingredients or steps - it truly is simple to prepare. Prep time includes "resting" time for the crust.

I added some twists onto your basic parmesan and breadcrumb crusted chicken to suit my tastes and thought I'd share the wonderful results.

BAKED CHICKEN WITH CRISPY PARMESAN AND TOMATOES
Think of this as an easy version of chicken Parmesan, tender chicken, tangy tomatoes and crispy bits of Parmesan. Here, there's no pounding, breading or frying required. The bath of garlicky tomatoes gently cooks the chicken, keeping it juicy, while the dusting of Parmesan returns some richness lost in choosing boneless and skinless breasts. Seek out chicken breasts on the larger side to give the Parmesan a chance to properly brown and crisp up without overcooking.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Slice the tomatoes in half crosswise and place in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish along with garlic, thyme and crushed red pepper flakes, if using. Season with salt and pepper.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper and nestle into baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and bake until chicken is about halfway cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and grate Parmesan over chicken.
- Return to oven and continue to bake until chicken is cooked through, tomatoes are starting to caramelize and Parmesan is browned and crisp, about 10 to 12 minutes more.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with parsley or basil before serving, if desired, and garnish with shavings of Parmesan.

Tips:
- Use a meat mallet: Pounding the chicken breasts helps tenderize them and ensures even cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cooking the chicken in batches prevents steaming and ensures crispy results.
- Use a good quality marinara sauce: The marinara sauce is a key component of chicken parmesan, so choose one that you enjoy the taste of.
- Use fresh mozzarella cheese: Fresh mozzarella cheese melts beautifully and provides a delicious, gooey texture.
- Broil the chicken parmesan until the cheese is golden brown: This will give the dish a nice, crispy finish.
Conclusion:
Chicken parmesan is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. Serve with a side of pasta or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
