CHICKEN PARMESAN WITH SPAGHETTI

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 28-ounce cans whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
2 cups breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 thin chicken cutlets (4 to 5 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
8 1-ounce slices low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella cheese (packaged or deli-sliced)
Grated parmesan cheese, for topping
Chopped fresh basil, for topping
Kosher salt
12 ounces spaghetti

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and puree with an immersion blender, or puree in a regular blender in small batches and return to the pot. You should have about 4 cups sauce.
  • Meanwhile, make the chicken: Preheat the oven to 450˚. Put the flour in a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs in a separate shallow dish. Combine the breadcrumbs, parsley and oregano in a third dish. Lay the chicken on a piece of plastic wrap and cover with another piece of plastic. Pound the chicken on both sides with the flat side of a meat mallet or a skillet until 1/4 inch thick. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the eggs, letting the excess drip off, and dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere on both sides. Transfer to a plate.
  • Set a wire rack on a baking sheet. Heat about 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Carefully add 2 pieces of chicken and cook, gently moving them around in the pan with tongs, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. (Adjust the heat as needed if the chicken is browning too quickly.) Remove the chicken to the rack to drain. Lightly sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Transfer the chicken to a clean baking sheet and top each piece with 1/2 cup tomato sauce and 2 slices mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melted, bubbling and browned in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain. Warm the remaining tomato sauce (about 2 cups) over low heat. Add the spaghetti and 1/2 cup reserved cooking water; toss, adding more cooking water as needed. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Top the chicken with parmesan and basil. Serve with the spaghetti.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
6 chicken breast tenderloins
1 egg
1 tablespoon half-and-half
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
½ cup panko bread crumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 quarts water
1 tablespoon salt
6 ounces angel hair pasta
1 ½ cups prepared marinara sauce, divided
3 ounces shredded Italian cheese blend

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  • Combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Place chicken tenderloins into flour mixture, seal the bag, and shake to coat.

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook chicken tenderloins until the juices run clear, chicken is no longer pink inside, and coating is golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Bring water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil in a large pot; stir angel hair pasta into boiling water. Cook pasta, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Pour 3/4 cup marinara sauce into prepared baking dish; top sauce with cooked angel hair pasta. Pour remaining 3/4 cup sauce over pasta and arrange chicken tenderloins over sauce. Sprinkle Italian cheese blend over chicken.

PARMESAN CHICKEN PASTA



Parmesan Chicken Pasta image

I developed this recipe one Saturday night when I wanted to make something a little nicer, but with minimal time in the kitchen. I'd tried something similar at a restaurant a few weeks earlier. It's a great way to use leftover grilled chicken...or you can use purchased grilled chicken strips. -Tamara Duncan

MY CHICKEN PARMIGIANA



My Chicken Parmigiana image

This is a family favorite meal and one I make for special occasions, such as birthday dinners. The cooking method of this particular version is different from the conventional chicken parmigiana recipes I always used to make. Once I tried this much easier and moister version, I never went back to the "old" method. I often use homemade sauce in this, but a good-quality bottled sauce, such as Classico or Barilla, is perfectly acceptable as well. I serve this chicken atop mounds of freshly cooked pasta with some additional heated sauce. I have often chosen to replace the mozzarella with thin slices of Provolone cheese. NOTE: Edited to add that pounding the chicken is not necessary with this method. Part of what is unique about this recipe is that even the meatier pieces of chicken get so moist & tender as it braises in the sauce.

Provided by HeatherFeather

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 egg, beaten lightly
1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1 -2 tablespoon margarine or 1 -2 tablespoon butter
1 3/4 cups prepared spaghetti sauce (homemade or bottled)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or 1/2 cup sliced provolone cheese
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
cooked spaghetti, to serve

Steps:

  • Beat egg and set into a rimmed plate.
  • Set bread crumbs in a second rimmed plate.
  • Dip chicken breasts into the egg, then into the crumbs,coating both sides and shaking off excess.
  • Melt butter or margarine over medium heat in a large, deep skillet. Add chicken breast halves to the pan and brown on both sides - just enough to brown the chicken, not to fully cook it yet.
  • Pour spaghetti sauce into the pan, immediately reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the chicken has cooked all the way through, about 15-20 minutes but the time will vary depending upon the thickness and size of your chicken breasts.
  • Sprinkle with parsley and cheeses, re-cover, and simmer just until cheese melts- about 5 minutes.
  • Serve with cooked spaghetti.

MY CHICKEN PARMIGIANA WITH HOMEMADE PASTA SAUCE



My Chicken Parmigiana With Homemade Pasta Sauce image

This is my version of chicken parmigiana. The sweet sauce is what sends this recipe over the top although the chicken parmigiana is excellent as well! I developed this sauce after tasting various versions of my Italian friends' sauces and getting their recipes. My family likes a sweet sauce so if you don't like it sweet, just omit the sugar. I do recommend that you add a little sugar, though, to remove some of the acidity taste from the sauce. Quite frankly, if you don't like a sweet sauce, though, you might be better off trying another recipe because that is why I developed this version. I usually let the sauce simmer for most of the day until I am ready to make the chicken parmigiana. However, the sauce can be ready as fast as an hour if you need it to be. But the longer the sauce simmers, the more delicious and thick it will be! This recipe does make more sauce than is needed for the chicken parmigiana and the side of spaghetti or angel hair, but I just freeze the remaining sauce and use it for another time. This is also the basic recipe I use to serve over any type of pasta. I even use it on pizza!

CHICKEN PARMESAN WITH MY MOTHER'S MARINARA SAUCE AND BUCATINI



Chicken Parmesan with My Mother's Marinara Sauce and Bucatini image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, small dice
Kosher salt
5 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced into rounds
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 medium carrots, peeled and coarsely grated
One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
Leaves of 1 large basil sprig
12 ounces bucatini
2 cups panko, toasted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 large eggs
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
Kosher salt
Canola oil, for frying
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces firm whole-milk mozzarella, sliced 1/4 inch thick
Leaves of 1 large basil sprig
1 small wedge Parmesan, freshly grated (about 1 1/2 cups), plus more for serving

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook for a few minutes until the onions are softened slightly but not brown. Stir in the garlic, sugar and red pepper flakes. (If the onions begin to brown, add a splash of water.)
  • Stir in the grated carrots and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and continue to cook until the carrots soften, about 2 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes and use a wooden spoon to break up some of the whole tomatoes. Cook over medium heat, stirring from time to time, until the tomatoes are fairly broken down and the sauce has thickened, at least 30 minutes. Season to taste and add water as necessary. Stir in the basil leaves. Keep the sauce warm.
  • For the chicken: Lay a piece of chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap and use the smooth side of a meat mallet to pound into a 1/4-inch-thick cutlet. Repeat with remaining cutlet then slice both pieces in half.
  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set aside. Combine the breadcrumbs and garlic powder in a shallow dish. Crack the eggs in a second shallow dish and whisk to blend. Sprinkle the chicken pieces on both sides with salt and dip each thoroughly in the eggs; transfer to the breadcrumbs to thoroughly coat. Place the chicken on the paper towels.
  • For the pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add a generous amount of salt. (The pasta water should taste like seawater.) Add the pasta to the pot and stir so it doesn't stick. Cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente (chewy but not hard or raw tasting). Drain well and set aside.
  • To finish the chicken: Fill a medium cast-iron skillet with about 1/3 to 1/2 cup canola oil (to come about 1/4 of the way up the sides) and heat over medium until the oil is just barely starting to smoke. Sprinkle the top of each cutlet with salt and gently place in the oil, salted-side down. Add the butter to the pan and as it begins to foam, shake the pan gently. Cook on the first side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently flip to the second side, sprinkle with salt and carefully spoon some of the hot oil mixture on top. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, an additional 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from the pan with a slotted spatula to clean paper towels to drain slightly.
  • Preheat the broiler with the rack in the highest position. Divide the sauce between 2 medium bowls, one for the pasta and one for the chicken Parmesan.
  • To assemble the chicken Parmesan, add some tomato sauce to a small cast-iron skillet or baking dish. Layer with a couple mozzarella slices and the basil. Put one of the fried chicken cutlets on top of the basil, followed by another spoonful of sauce, then a second layer of mozzarella. Place the second chicken cutlet next, followed by a third layer of sauce, more mozzarella and a large sprinkle of Parmesan. Repeat with the remaining pieces of chicken and other ingredients in a second small cast-iron skillet. Place the skillets on a sheet tray and broil until the cheese is melted and slightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Top with more freshly grated Parmesan.
  • Toss the pasta and sauce together in a large bowl and taste for seasoning. Top with grated Parmesan. Serve with the skillets of chicken parm.
