Chicken Parmesan Recipe

Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time25 minutes
Total Time45 minutes
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Italian
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup flour with a pinch of salt and pepper added
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces Mozzarella cheese sliced
  • 1½ cups basic tomato sauce

Instructions

  • Whisk the eggs and water together in one bowl and stir the Parmesan cheese into the breadcrumbs in another bowl.
  • Keeping one hand for dry ingredients and the other for wet ingredients, dredge the breasts in the flour, coating both sides, then the egg/water mixture, and then the Parmesan/breadcrumb mixture.
  • Sauté the breasts in the olive oil for one minute on each side in an ovenproof sauté pan until the breasts are golden brown.
    Don’t overcrowd the pan; your chicken breasts will steam and not sauté properly. (If you don’t have an oven-proof sauté (frying) pan, sauté in your pan and transfer to a casserole dish.
  • Remove from heat, cover the breasts with basic tomato sauce and top with slices of mozzarella.
  • Cook in the oven until the chicken is done, approximately 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
  • Remove from oven and serve.

Notes

I like to serve this dish with a side of spaghetti topped with some of my basic tomato sauce. A glass of Chianti goes great with this dish.
