Husband Approved: Crispy Chicken Parm

One time I ran out of breadcrumbs and made my chicken Parm with crushed up pretzels, and this is how I make it all the time now. I like to season my chicken instead of my flour so I have better control over the salt content. There is already salt in the pretzels, but I like to course grind a little bit of after I pull the chicken out of the pan.

Double your portion of sauce, or use two cans so you have plenty of sauce for the chicken AND the noodles. I like a lot of sauce.

Don’t forget to boil your water and cook your noodles while you fry your chicken. Also make sure you don’t have chunks of egg white on your chicken while breading it or the breading will slide off. I used 3 eggs for this.

MONITOR THE CHICKEN IN THE BROILER. the cheese will burn fast.

... Read moreCrispy Chicken Parm is not just a meal; it’s an experience! Using pretzels as a breadcrumb alternative not only adds a delightful flavor but also enhances the texture, making every bite irresistible. To create the perfect chicken parm, start by butterfly-cutting the chicken breasts and pounding them to 1/2 inch thick for even cooking. Ensure to season the chicken generously with salt and pepper for a flavor-packed base. When breading your chicken, remember to coat it in flour first, dip it in beaten eggs, and then coat with crushed pretzel crumbs for that unique crunch. For best results, pan-fry in a hot skillet with plenty of oil and allow the breaded chicken to rest on a wire rack, preventing sogginess. A key tip is to monitor the broiler closely; melted mozzarella can go from perfect to burnt in seconds! Pair your crispy chicken parm with a generous amount of homemade or store-bought marinara sauce and serve over saucy noodles for a complete meal. Don’t forget to save leftovers for a quick and tasty reheat in the air fryer to keep them crispy. This dish not only satisfies but also brings family together, making it a go-to comfort food. Enjoy crafting this delightful dinner idea that will surely impress your loved ones!
