Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs or panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan (about 2 ounces)
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for brushing
3 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, divided
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
4 (6-ounce) chicken cutlets, pounded 1/2" thick
6 ounces coarsely grated mozzarella (about 1 cup)
1/2 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, pressed or finely chopped
1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup (packed) basil leaves, torn if large, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Arrange racks in top and bottom of oven and place a rimmed baking sheet on bottom rack; preheat to 450°F.
  • Beat eggs in a large shallow bowl. Using a fork or your fingertips, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, 3 Tbsp. oil, 3 tsp. oregano, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in another large shallow bowl or plate.
  • Working with 1 cutlet at a time, dip in egg, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Dredge in breadcrumb mixture, shaking off excess, then pressing to adhere. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet.
  • Carefully remove preheated baking sheet from oven and generously brush with oil. Transfer chicken to baking sheet and return to bottom rack. Roast 6 minutes, then carefully flip (use a spatula to scrape under cutlets) and sprinkle with mozzarella. Place baking sheet on top rack and continue to roast until juices run clear, mozzarella is melted, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of cutlet registers 165°F, about 4 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add marinara sauce, red pepper flakes (if using), 1/4 cup basil, and remaining 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Cook, stirring, until sauce starts to bubble. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chicken is ready, stirring occasionally, at least 5 minutes.
  • Divide sauce among 4 plates. Top with chicken and torn basil.

SPEEDY CHICKEN PARM



Speedy Chicken Parm image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup Israeli couscous
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 to 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (225 to 450 grams/8 ounces to 1 pound)
1 egg
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup ground Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh basil, plus more for serving
1 to 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • For the couscous: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the couscous and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to low and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until all of the broth has been absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside, covered, for 5 minutes.
  • For the chicken: Place the chicken between two sheets of wax or parchment paper and, using a meat mallet, rolling pin or a small skillet, lightly and evenly pound until 3/4-to 1-centimeter (generous 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch) thick, then cut into two equal portions and set aside. If making the dish for four, continue with a second chicken breast.
  • In a shallow dish, beat together the egg, mayonnaise, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. In a separate shallow dish, combine the ground Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and breadcrumbs. Working with one piece of chicken at a time, dip the chicken into the egg mixture to coat, then toss in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere the coating to the chicken.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Heat the oil and add the chicken. Cook for 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through to 165 degrees F (75 degrees C), adjusting the heat as necessary. Remove the chicken to a plate to rest.
  • For the tomatoes: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin releasing some juices, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, cook for an additional minute. Stir in the basil and red wine vinegar, to taste.
  • To serve, remove the lid from the couscous and give it a stir to loosen. Divide the couscous onto plates and top with the chicken and sautéed tomatoes. Garnish with additional Parmigiano and fresh basil.

QUICK BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN



Quick Baked Chicken Parmesan image

In this lighter version of chicken Parmesan I skip the pan-frying in oil and instead bake lightly-breaded chicken breasts in the oven, then top with sauce and cheese. My family's not big on lots of sauce and cheese, so I just use a little to flavor the dish. Feel free to add more if you like, but it's excellent as-is. Serve chicken over pasta with additional sauce.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

canola oil cooking spray
½ cup water
1 egg, beaten
1 ½ cups bread crumbs
6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried thyme

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Whisk water and egg together in a bowl until smooth. Combine bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, thyme, and garlic powder in a separate bowl.
  • Dip each chicken breast in egg mixture, allowing excess egg to drip back into bowl. Coat each chicken breast in bread crumb mixture, shaking off excess. Repeat dipping each coated chicken breast in the egg mixture and the bread crumb mixture for a double-coating and place in the prepared baking dish. Spray breaded chicken breasts with cooking spray.

Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the cheeses are melted, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

5-INGREDIENT CHICKEN PARM



5-Ingredient Chicken Parm image

An absolutely tasty and versatile dish. I have prepared this for two of us and for 100 men on a men's retreat and with the same consistency of flavor.

Provided by Jim Trebilcox

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup breadcrumbs (pref. Italian seasoned)
1 (26 ounce) can spaghetti sauce (or equiv. homemade, I use Prego because it is sweeter than most.)
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, fresh grated

Steps:

  • Wash and pat the chicken breasts dry and then coat them with the breadcrumbs (I push hard on them while coating them to break the tissue down and make them even more tender).
  • After the chicken breasts are breaded, fry them either in a teflon skillet or with a little olive oil (if you use olive oil, you must count it as part of the fat in the nutritional breakdown).
  • Fry the breasts until they are completely cooked.
  • Pour 1/2 of the spaghetti sauce into a 9"x5" casserole dish.
  • Place the cooked chicken breasts on top of the sauce.
  • Pour the remaining spaghetti sauce on top of the chicken breasts.
  • Sprinkle both cheeses on top Put the dish into a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes, or long enough to warm all the sauce and breasts throughly and melt the cheese.
  • Serve over spaghetti (or rice!).
