CRISPY CHICKEN PARMESAN

Chicken Parmesan is amazingly crispy topped with tomato sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. This is a restaurant quality dish, easily made at home.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN PARMESAN

• Depending on your liking, you can use whole breasts or thin them in half. If you are going with the thinner option, make sure to pound it with a mallet or roll with a rolling pin. This will ensure a tender and juicy meat. Also, important to remember the thinner the meat, the faster it cooks, so reduce the cooking time by a few minutes.
• Pat the meat dry before dipping into the beaten eggs and then the breading and parmesan.
• The crumb coating ratio we use is about a 2:1 mixture of bread crumbs to parmesan cheese plus some herbs.
• Similarly, to make the breasts crispy, cook them coated in very hot oil in a single layer. This will give them crispy golden outside which is exactly what you want here.
• To finish off this delicious dish, all you need to do is top it with a decent portion of amazing tomato sauce, and then top that with some slices of fresh mozzarella or provolone, along with some grated parmesan.
• Lastly, put it in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese gets bubbly and melty.

HOW TO MAKE THE BREADING?

Breading mixture is very easy to make, and requires only a few ingredients:

• Panko Japanese breadcrumb – this is ideal for coating and frying, because it is dryer than regular breadcrumbs, and absorb less oil producing a crispy and crunchier crumb!
• Italian seasoning breadcrumbs
• Parmesan or Provolone cheese
• Garlic powder
• Paprika – it adds a nice color
• Italian seasoning herbs – for extra flavor
• Salt and pepper to taste

Put all the ingredients in a small bowl and combine them together.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH CHICKEN PARMESAN

Traditionally, it is served over pasta or fettuccini. However, for a healthier alternative you could try:

• Steamed vegetables
• Roasted Brussels sprouts
• Zucchini noodles
• Mashed Cauliflower
