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.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 teaspoons sriracha
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking pan
1 cup pecans
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs

2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • For the ketchup: Stir together the ketchup, vinegar, sriracha, Worcestershire and brown sugar in a small bowl.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the Parmesan cheese and spices mixture for at least 30 minutes helps infuse flavor and tenderize the chicken.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: This will help prevent the chicken from sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat helps prevent it from burning and ensures that it cooks evenly throughout.
  • Top with pecans and Parmesan cheese: Adding pecans and Parmesan cheese to the chicken towards the end of cooking adds a delicious crunch and extra flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Pecan Parmesan chicken is best served immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Pecan Parmesan chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's sure to please the whole family. The combination of Parmesan cheese, pecans, and spices creates a flavorful and crispy crust, while the chicken remains moist and tender on the inside. Serve with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
