Crispy Breaded Chicken Parmesan
Crispy Breaded Chicken Parmesan is a classic Italian-American dish that is loved by many. This dish is a perfect combination of crispy breaded chicken, tangy tomato sauce, and melted mozzarella cheese. It is a delicious and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed any time of the day.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Then, prepare your chicken by pounding it to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Next, set up your breading station. In one bowl, add the flour. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it in the beaten eggs, making sure to coat it well. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure 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 breaded chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and top each breast with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This dish is best served with a side of pasta or a fresh salad.
Crispy Breaded Chicken Parmesan is a mouthwatering and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion. The crispy breaded chicken is perfectly seasoned and pairs perfectly with the tangy tomato sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
