Perfect Chicken Parmesan for Any Gathering: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Mia
  • Total Time: 26 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian seasoned)
– 1 cup marinara sauce
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
– Olive oil (for frying)


Instructions

Creating Perfect Chicken Parmesan can be a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to an even thickness, about ½ inch.
3. Set Up Breading Station: In three separate shallow dishes, place flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in the third.
4. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, shaking off excess. Then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat enough olive oil over medium heat to cover the bottom.
6. Fry Chicken: Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts in batches. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Transfer to Baking Dish: Remove the fried chicken and place them in a baking dish.
8. Add Sauce and Cheese: Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast, then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
9. Bake: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Rest: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 10 minutes.
11. Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh basil leaves before serving.

These steps will guide you in creating a delicious Perfect Chicken Parmesan effortlessly, ensuring that your gathering is a hit!
