PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN



Parmesan Crusted Chicken image

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.

PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN FINGERS



Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Fingers image

These Parmesan-crusted chicken fingers have all the flavour and appeal of the greasy fast-food classic but are baked using an "oven frying" technique that used hardly any oil. Adding Parmesan cheese and tangy Dijon mustard to crunchy Japanese-style breadcrumbs (panko) gives these easy-to-prepare chicken fingers a sophisticated coating the whole family will enjoy. Look for panko breadcrumbs in the Asian section of your market. For even more kid appeal, serve the chicken fingers with a homemade honey mustard sauce, or a sweet-and-sour sauce made from apricot jam, cider vinegar, salt and pepper and a drop of hot sauce.

SIMPLE CHICKEN PARMESAN



Simple Chicken Parmesan image

Simple Chicken Parmesan is the perfect dish to lure kids into the kitchen - what kid doesn't like chicken tenders and spaghetti? And this dish is loaded with mini cooking lessons. With one simple recipe, kids learn how to boil pasta, mince garlic, grate cheese, make tomato sauce, and pound, bread and saute cutlets. Bonus: This recipe makes twice the sauce needed, so freeze half for another meal.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Parmesan Recipes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes (quality varies dramatically; I prefer Redpack, Progresso and Muir Glen brands)
½ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each), halved crosswise
1 large egg
½ cup dry bread crumbs
8 ounces spaghetti or linguine
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup grated part-skim mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for passing at the table

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat garlic and 2 Tbs. oil over medium-high heat until garlic starts to sizzle. Stir in tomatoes, basil, oregano, sugar, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer; simmer until sauce thickens a bit and flavors meld, 10 to 12 minutes. Cover and keep warm. (Remember, this makes twice the amount of sauce you need, so put aside half for another meal.)
  • Put chicken pieces between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound, using your fists or a heavy pan, until the cutlets are about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large soup kettle.
  • In a pie pan, beat egg until well-blended. In another pie pan, mix bread crumbs and more black pepper. Preheat broiler.
  • Working one cutlet at a time, dip both sides of each in beaten egg, then in bread crumbs. Put cutlets on a wire rack set over a cookie sheet (this step helps breading stay put).
  • Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch skillet. When oil starts to shimmer, add cutlets and saute until golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes total. Wash and dry the wire rack and return to cookie sheet. As the cutlets saute, cook pasta in boiling water according to package directions.
  • Transfer cutlets to clean wire rack over cookie sheet. Top each with a portion of the cheeses. Broil cutlets, 4 to 5 inches from heat source, until cheese melts and is spotty brown.
  • Drain pasta. Put a cutlet and a portion of pasta on each of 4 plates. Spoon 2 or 3 tablespoons of sauce over part of each cutlet, then sauce the pasta as desired. Serve with extra Parmesan.
