Classic Chicken Parmigiana
Report
This recipe for chicken parmigiana is my take on the classic, Italian-inspired dish with chicken cutlets, marinara sauce, and rich cheese.
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 2 large eggs beaten with 2 teaspoons water
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs or Italian breadcrumbs
- ½ cup olive oil or vegetable oil
- 2 ½ cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese freshly sliced or grated
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 8 fresh basil leaves sliced into ribbons (or chopped parsley)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Pound each breast thin with a meat mallet or slice in half to form 4 cutlets. Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Combine flour, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning and transfer to a shallow dish or plate. Whisk egg and water together in separate dish. Pour panko breadcrumbs into another dish.
- Dredge chicken in flour mixture, then egg, ending with the panko mixture. Gently press to adhere breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When oil begins to shimmer, add chicken to skillet and pan fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set on a paper towel lined plate to soak up excess oil.
- Transfer chicken to a rimmed baking tray, casserole or baking dish. Pour marinara sauce across center of each piece of chicken and top with mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.
- Bake until cheese is browned and bubbling, about 18 minutes. Remove and garnish with basil.
