Marsha’s Chicken Parmesan

Posted by Marsha | 0 comments

I am a huge fan of quick cooking, especially since a very good idea (for other people) like Once a Month Cooking (aka Freezer Meals ) usually don’t bode well for me.

The following is a recipe for Parmesan Chicken… it’s my quick and not-authentic-but-still-yummy version of Chicken Parmigiana.

PARMESAN CHICKEN

* 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
* 2 eggs
* 3/4 c. Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
* 1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese (fresh or the kind in the green can)
* butter
* spaghetti sauce
* mozzarella cheese, shredded

1. Place individual piece of chicken in a plastic baggie and use a meat mallet to flatten to approximately 1/4 inch thickness. Tenderizes the chicken and makes it uniform in size for quick, even cooking. Cut each flattened chicken breast in half.

2. Mix seasoned bread crumbs and parmesan cheese in a medium bowl.

3. Mix eggs in a separate medium bowl.

4. Heat pan and add a few pats of butter.

5. Dip chicken in crumb mixture, egg and then back in crumb mixture.

6. Pan fry in butter until chicken is cooked thoroughly and coating is golden brown. Be sure to add a little more butter to the pan right before you flip the chicken– it keeps the coating tasty and golden on both sides.

7. Remove from pan, add 1 Tablespoon (or more) of sauce to each piece of chicken, and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Serves 3-4 (depending on hunger and size of stomachs)
Prep and Cook time: 20 minutes
