PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN

Parmesan crusted chicken is easy enough to make for a busy weeknight but also special enough for company.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup all purpose flour
2 eggs
⅔ cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs (I use Progresso)
⅓ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme, parsley, chives or rosemary
3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1½ pounds), pounded ¼"-thick (see note)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Set up three large shallow bowls in an assembly line. Put the flour in the first bowl; beat the eggs in the second bowl; and mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs in the third bowl.
  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge the first chicken breast in the flour and shake off the excess until just a light coating remains. Next, dip the chicken in the egg mixture and turn to coat evenly, letting any excess egg drip off. Finally, dredge the chicken in the bread crumb mixture, turning a few times to coat well. Set breaded chicken on a plate and repeat until all of the chicken breasts are breaded.
  • Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the first side is golden brown. Flip and continue cooking until done, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
  • Note: If chicken breasts are large (8 or more ounces), it's best to cut them in half once they are pounded out. Alternatively, you can cut them in half horizontally before pounding.

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup milk
1 large egg, whisked
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
4 chicken cutlets
3 tablespoons salted butter
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Put the flour in a wide, shallow bowl and season with a pinch of kosher salt and pepper. In a second shallow bowl, mix the milk and egg. In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko, oregano, rosemary and thyme with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Bread the cutlets by dredging them first in the seasoned flour, then dunking them in the egg/milk mixture and finally by pressing them into the herby breadcrumbs so they are completely coated. Set aside.
  • Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the cutlets and cook until golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle over the flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.

CRISPY GARLIC BREADCRUMB CHICKEN



Crispy Garlic Breadcrumb Chicken image

While not identical to a pan-fried, breaded cutlet, if you want to eat tender, flavorful chicken with lots of crispy, crunchy bits, then this significantly less-messy method is for you. One of the keys to this technique is to use panko breadcrumbs, which are much larger and more jagged than regular, fine breadcrumbs. This method also allows us to introduce some additional flavor, and moisture, thanks to the 'glue' we use to attach the crumbs.

Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
cayenne pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup panko bread crumbs
3 cloves garlic, finely crushed
1 tablespoon finely chopped Italian parsley
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
¼ cup chicken broth
⅓ cup chicken broth
1 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
  • Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Add chicken breasts. Sear, untouched, until bottoms release from the pan, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter and let melt. Add panko bread crumbs. Cook and stir until breadcrumbs start to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Turn off heat and add parsley and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Set breading aside.
  • Combine mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Spread 'glue' over the top and sides of the chicken breasts. Spoon over the the breadcrumb mixture. Use a spatula to transfer chicken breasts back to the skillet. Pour chicken broth around the chicken.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest while you make the pan sauce.
  • Pour chicken broth and lemon juice into the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat and add balsamic vinegar. Boil until sauce is reduced, about 2 minutes. Strain sauce and spoon around chicken.
