What is Chicken Parmesan?

Chicken Parmesan, also known as Chicken Parmigiana, is a classic Italian-American dish that consists of breaded chicken cutlets topped with tomato sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. It is typically served with spaghetti or another type of pasta.

The dish originated in southern Italy but was brought to the United States by Italian immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It has since become a popular dish in Italian-American cuisine and can be found at many Italian restaurants and pizzerias.

What ingredients do I need?

To make classic Chicken Parmesan, you will need:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 cups tomato sauce
• 8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

How do I prepare the chicken?

Before you can bread and cook the chicken, you will need to prepare it. Start by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.

Next, season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside while you prepare the breading.

How do I make the sauce?

The tomato sauce is an important component of Chicken Parmesan. To make the sauce, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add a minced garlic clove and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add two cups of tomato sauce to the pan and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

How do I assemble the dish?

Now that you have prepared the chicken and the sauce, it's time to assemble the dish. Preheat your oven to 375°F.

Start by breading the chicken. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.

Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it in the beaten eggs, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.

Heat a quarter cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.

Pour the tomato sauce over the chicken, spreading it evenly. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Bake the Chicken Parmesan in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is cooked through.

Conclusion

Chicken Parmesan is a classic Italian-American dish that is easy to make at home. With a few simple ingredients and some basic cooking techniques, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal the whole family will love.
