Categories     Main Dish

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup butter ((for melting in the pan))
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter ((melted))
2 cloves garlic ((minced))
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Paprika

Steps:

  • The chicken breasts we used were large (3 chicken breasts = 2 1/3 pounds). If the chicken breasts you are using are also large cut them in half to get 6 pieces.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a zippered bag. Use the side of a meat tenderizer to pound the chicken breasts to 1/2" thickness throughout so they cook evenly.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place 1/4 cup butter in a 9x13 pan and place it in the oven for the butter to melt while the oven heats.
  • In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Place milk in another shallow bowl.
  • Dip chicken in milk, then roll it in the crumb mixture.
  • Place chicken in the baking dish with the melted butter.
  • Combine the butter, garlic and lemon juice and drizzle over the chicken, then sprinkle on the paprika.
  • Cover the pan loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Uncover the pan, turn the chicken and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes. The baking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken, so be sure to check it to make sure it is thoroughly cooked. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

GARLICKY CHICKEN PARM

Provided by Nancy Fuller

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 32-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
8 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
7 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons garlic salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the carrot and celery, season with sea salt and pepper and saute until all the vegetables are soft, another 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and oregano and simmer over low heat, uncovered, until the sauce has thickened, about 1 hour. Season to taste with more sea salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, make the chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set a wire rack on a baking sheet lined with foil. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with kosher salt and pepper. Combine the flour and some kosher salt and pepper in a medium baking dish. In a second baking dish, whisk the eggs, milk and minced garlic. In a third dish, combine the panko and garlic salt.
  • Dredge the chicken breasts through the flour mixture, dusting off any excess, then through the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, and then through the panko, making sure to coat the chicken on both sides. Set the breaded chicken on the wire rack and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the breading to set.
  • Fill a large deep skillet halfway with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Using tongs, carefully place the breaded chicken in the hot oil, working in batches to avoid crowding the pan. Fry, turning once, until light golden on both sides, about 4 minutes. Return the chicken to the wire rack.
  • Dollop 2 tablespoons sauce over each piece of chicken and sprinkle evenly with the parmesan and mozzarella. Transfer to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.

BREADED GARLIC-PARMESAN CHICKEN THIGHS



Breaded Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Thighs image

Instead of frying, these breaded chicken thighs are baked in the oven. Chicken thighs are more juicy than chicken breasts, and more forgiving, if they stay in the oven a minute too long. It's always best to rely on a meat thermometer, though. Nearly any vegetable or salad will work as a side. I pulled out some leftovers and hardly anyone noticed because of the tasty chicken.

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

avocado oil cooking spray
1 large egg
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1 cup Italian-style panko bread crumbs
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan or roasting dish with avocado oil.
  • Stir egg, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a wide shallow bowl until well combined. Combine panko and Parmesan cheese on a plate.
  • Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Dip each thigh into the egg mixture, then place on the panko mixture and cover both sides with crumbs, shaking off any excess. Transfer to the prepared pan in a single layer, and spray the tops lightly with avocado oil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 25 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will give your chicken parmesan the best flavor. Look for Parmesan cheese that is labeled "Parmigiano-Reggiano" or "Grana Padano."
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken parmesan is best when the chicken is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet. A heavy-bottomed skillet will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the chicken from burning.
  • Don't crowd the skillet. When you are cooking the chicken, make sure to not crowd the skillet. If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Serve chicken parmesan with your favorite pasta. Chicken parmesan is traditionally served with spaghetti, but you can also serve it with other types of pasta, such as penne or linguine.

Conclusion:

Chicken parmesan is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a restaurant-quality meal that the whole family will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give chicken parmesan a try.
