Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan made with breaded and fried boneless chicken breasts topped with your favorite marinara sauce and shredded Mozzarella cheese; then baked until hot and bubbly.

As much as my kids enjoy trying all of my daily experiments, my oldest daughter hasn't been feeling well and wanted what she calls "normal" food for dinner the other night.

To her, that means breaded chicken cutlets with bruschetta on top. I didn't have enough tomatoes on hand, so I asked them if Chicken Parmesan would be ok and they agreed.

Ingredients

For this recipe you'll need:

  • boneless chicken breasts
  • all purpose flour
  • eggs
  • milk
  • Italian flavored bread crumbs
  • your favorite marinara sauce
  • shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • Canola oil for frying. 

How do you make Chicken Parmesan?

Start by slicing the chicken down into cutlets so you have approximately 9 pieces. Or you can purchase the already thin sliced chicken breasts that they sell now. Next, prepare three separate bowls. One for the flour. One for the eggs and milk to make an egg wash and one for the breadcrumbs.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Next, dip the chicken into the flour, then the egg wash then into the breadcrumbs. Repeat until all pieces are coated.

Add the breaded chicken to the pan and cook on both sides until well browned. Drain on paper towels or paper bags to remove excess oil; repeat for all pieces.

Add a ladle full of sauce to the bottom of an oven safe dish (approx. 9x13), add the chicken; then top each piece with sauce, then the cheese. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 30 minutes or until cheese has melted. 

Believe it or not, I can honestly say this was only about the third time I've made Chicken Parmesan in the last 15 years. I don't know why, it is very good, but when I'm in the mood for anything parmesan, it's going to be my eggplant!
