Chicken Parmesan on of my favorite comfort foods when I don’t want to eat out. It was a hit with my little picky eater too.
You will need:
Chicken breast cut in half & pounder out with a mallet or cup. (Whatever you have to thin them out)
Fresh grated Parmesan cheese
Breast crumbs (I use Italian bread crumb)
2 eggs
Seasoning- garlic salt, Italian seasoning and I used some Dan-o Seasoning as well.
Place some pasta of choice to a boil. I Boil as package says. I use thin spaghetti. Use whatever sauce of choice. Could be Parmesan with butter, garlic and olive oil, or pesto or marinara.
I also add some seasoning to doctor it up if it’s jarred.
Pound out chicken thin.
Season meat with your seasoning.
Also, prepare bread crumbs on a plate and add seasoning and some parm cheese in the mix.
Beat two eggs in a bowl.
Then coat egg on seasoned chicken.
Next, bread crumbs to stick to the egg base.
Use a good fry oil of your choice. Depending on how thin you pounded them out. Your cook time will differ.
Mine took about 7 mins each side.
Or you can spray with oil and put in the air fryer. 375 each side or 7-9 mins.
Top food with fresh parmesan cheese and basil.
Can’t go wrong.
Chicken Parmesan is not just tasty; it's a versatile dish that can suit different palates. For a truly authentic meal, consider pairing it with homemade marinara sauce or pesto, enriching it with fresh herbs like basil. Experiment with different pasta types, such as fettuccine or penne, to find your family’s favorite match. Pair your Chicken Parmesan with a side salad for a complete meal, or serve with garlic bread for added indulgence. Remember, the quality of the ingredients you choose greatly influences the final taste; opt for fresh parmesan and high-quality chicken breast to elevate your dish. You can also try baking instead of frying for a healthier version—just coat the chicken with breadcrumbs and bake it until golden. Additionally, consider dietary alternatives like gluten-free breadcrumbs or plant-based chicken for those with dietary restrictions, enabling everyone to enjoy the meal. Cooking can be a joyful experience, especially when sharing a homemade meal with loved ones, so gather your ingredients and enjoy the process. Don't forget to share your creation on social media to inspire other home cooks!
