Classic Chicken Parmesan

Classic Chicken Parmesan is a delicious Italian-American dish that is loved by many. This dish is made with breaded chicken cutlets, tomato sauce, and melted mozzarella cheese. It is a perfect meal for any occasion and can be served with pasta or a side salad.

To make Classic Chicken Parmesan, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Then, pound the chicken breast until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Next, set up three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, beat the egg. In the third bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it in the egg, making sure it is fully coated. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to make sure they stick.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and top each piece with tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot with pasta or a side salad.
