Delicious Chicken Parmesan with a golden crust, rich tomato sauce, and melted mozzarella, perfect for a comforting dinner or special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 oz chicken breast (four 6 ounce boneless skinless breasts, lightly pounded)
  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 12 oz spaghetti sauce
  • 2 tsp parsley (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup flour (seasoned with sea salt and black pepper)
  • 2 cups bread crumbs (Italian seasoned or your choice)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 oz water (or milk, mixed with egg to make egg wash)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying chicken cutlets)

Instructions

  1. Start by placing the chicken breasts on a cutting board lined with plastic wrap. Cover them with another sheet of plastic wrap and pound lightly using a meat hammer until they are even.
  2. Next, set up your breading station. Prepare a bowl of seasoned flour, another for your egg wash (mix eggs with water or milk), and a third for the breadcrumbs.
  3. Coat each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, dip it into the egg wash, then cover it with breadcrumbs until fully coated.
  4. Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and pour in about half an inch of vegetable oil. Carefully place the breaded chicken cutlets into the hot oil. Fry until they turn golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes on each side.
  5. Once they reach that beautiful color, drain the fried cutlets on a rack set over sheet pans.
  6. In a baking dish, arrange the fried chicken cutlets and top each piece with about ⅓ cup of spaghetti sauce.
  7. Add two ounces of shredded mozzarella on top of the sauce, and finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Serve immediately alongside your favorite pasta for a delightful meal.

Notes

Be careful not to overcrowd the pan while frying; this can lower the oil temperature and affect the crispiness. For added flavor, consider marinating your chicken in buttermilk for a few hours before breading.
