Chicken Parmesan

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Course Main Dish
Servings 6 people

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large chicken breasts cut in half legthwise to form cutlets (so you shoul have 6 pieces)
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup Italian style breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese plus extra for sprinkling
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded mozarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Season your chicken with some salt and pepper. In a large dish add flour and season with salt & pepper.
  • In a second dish ad your beaten eggs.
  • In a third dish add the Italian style breadcrumbs, the Panko bread crumbs and the Parmesan cheese. Mix.
  • For each piece of chicken dip in the flour mixture and shake off the excess.
  • Then dip it in the egg.
  • Then coat with breadcrumb mixture.
  • Place the chicken on a rack on a baking pan that has been covered in foil, and bake for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven. You can keep the chicken on the rack if you like. At this point, I remove the chicken from the rack, and place the chicken directly on the baking pan. This helps catch and spillage from sauce and cheese and helps with clean up later!
  • On each piece of chicken, add about 1/4 cup of tomato sauce. Next sprinkle each piece with some Parmesan cheese and top with a 1/4 cup mozarella.
  • Put the chicken back in the oven for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.
  • Serve with spaghetti and extra sauce!

Notes

Feel free to add more or less cheese and/or sauce to top the chicken. More sauce means soggy chicken!  Sometimes I overdo it!
