Mexican Chicken Parmesan is a delicious fusion of Italian and Mexican cuisine that will leave your taste buds craving for more. This dish is perfect for those who love the classic Chicken Parmesan but want to add a little bit of spice to their meal.
To make this dish, 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 panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Then, pound the chicken breast until it is about 1/2 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 panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and chili powder.
Dredge the chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the beaten egg, making sure it is fully coated. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the mixture onto the chicken to ensure it sticks.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Remove the skillet from the heat and spoon the marinara sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend on top.
Bake the chicken in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. The Mexican Chicken Parmesan should be golden brown on the outside and juicy on the inside. The combination of the crispy breadcrumb coating, tangy marinara sauce, and melted cheese creates a mouthwatering flavor that is sure to impress.
This dish can be classified as a fusion dish and its main ingredients are chicken, Parmesan cheese, and Mexican cheese blend.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a new twist on a classic dish, try making Mexican Chicken Parmesan. It's easy to make, packed with flavor, and sure to become a new favorite in your household.
