Are you looking for more ways to bring the irresistible flavors of Italy to your kitchen? Then you will love this chicken parmesan recipe featuring tender, breaded chicken cutlets that are covered in a rich marinara sauce and topped with a harmonious blend of melted mozzarella, provolone, and parmesan cheeses, and baked to perfection.
Ingredients :
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1 cup panko
- 1 cup parmesan cheese shredded
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 eggs beaten
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ cup tomato sauce
- ½ cup provolone cheese sliced
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ¼ cup fresh basil
Directions :
- Lay your chicken breasts flat on a sturdy, solid surface and pound them out using a meat mallet.
- Coat them in salt, pepper, and garlic powder and set them aside.
- In a large bowl or plate, add panko and ¾ cup of parmesan. Add flour to a second plate or bowl and beaten eggs to a third.
- Start by dredging a piece of chicken in the flour, then the egg wash, and finally, the panko. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Heat your olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add your chicken. Cook the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until the crust is golden brown. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan. You may have to make multiple batches.
- Remove from the pan and place on some paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Once the chicken breasts are cooked, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, top them with tomato sauce, provolone, mozzarella, and basil, and sprinkle the remaining parmesan.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes at 375F.
- Serve with a side salad, and enjoy!
