THE BEST CHICKEN PARMESAN



The Best Chicken Parmesan image

Chicken Parmesan should have, well, Parmesan. So we not only topped ours with it, we added it to the crust for even more flavor and texture. For the coating, we prefer to start with plain breadcrumbs and enhance them with our favorite flavors. And our very simple, classic Italian-American tomato sauce has a bright and tomato-y flavor that cuts through the richness of the chicken and pasta.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Two 28-ounce cans diced tomatoes
3 sprigs basil, plus torn leaves for serving
8 ounces whole milk mozzarella, shredded
12 ounces spaghetti

Steps:

  • Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Line another rimmed baking sheet with foil. Cut two 12-inch sheets of plastic wrap.
  • Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, making 4 roughly equal pieces; they should look like large chicken tenders. Place one sheet of plastic on a clean cutting board. Put one chicken piece in the center of the plastic and top with the other sheet of plastic. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to the wire rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken, one piece at a time. Liberally sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Put the flour in a pie plate and dredge the chicken 1 piece at a time, turning to coat and packing the flour into the crevices. Shake to remove any excess and return to the rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Whisk the breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk the milk and egg in a medium bowl until combined. Dip the dredged chicken into the milk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then pack the seasoned breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken. Very gently
  • shake off any excess and return to the rack. Refrigerate uncovered at least 30 minutes and up to 12 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Heat 1/3 cup of the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, oregano and red pepper flakes and cook until very fragrant but not brown, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, basil and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the tomatoes are very tender and the liquid has reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Smash the tomatoes with a potato masher until almost smooth; it's ok if it's a little chunky. Season with salt.
  • Heat the remaining 1/2 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cutlets and cook until the coating is golden brown, about 1 minute per side; the chicken will not be cooked through. Transfer to the foil-lined baking sheet in a single layer 3 inches apart. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
  • Arrange an oven rack directly under the broiler and preheat to high. Arrange the chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, spaced 3 inches apart. Top each cutlet with 2/3 cup of the sauce and spread evenly to coat. Sprinkle each cutlet with 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan and 1/2 cup mozzarella. Broil until the cheese melts and starts to brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the spaghetti, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain and transfer to the remaining sauce. Gently stir until the sauce coats the pasta. Transfer the spaghetti to a serving dish and top with the chicken. Sprinkle with more Parmesan and serve with torn basil.

CLASSIC, UPGRADED CHICKEN PARMESAN RECIPE BY TASTY



Classic, Upgraded Chicken Parmesan Recipe by Tasty image

While the delicious medley of rich tomatoes, melty mozzarella cheese, and crispy crunchy chicken sounds like an Italian speciality, it is actually an American dish that was invented by immigrants. Based on an Italian classic, Mezzaluna alla Parmigiana, or eggplant Parmesan, this Italian-American staple came from a lack of eggplant being grown in the United States, as well as an American preference for meat, particularly chicken. These tips, tricks, and techniques from a Michelin Star-trained chef will make this a version of chicken Parm a staple in your kitchen as well.

Time 45m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 24

¾ cup olive oil
1 medium white onion, cut into ½-inch (2.5 cm) half moons
4 cloves garlic, crushed
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
⅛ teaspoon dried thyme
1 can crushed tomato
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 boneless, skins on chicken thighs
2 large eggs
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
⅓ cup all purpose flour
½ cup italian bread crumbs
3 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
1 ½ tablespoons coarsely grated parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon dried parsley
1 cup olive oil
1 ½ cups shredded italian cheese blend
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, for garnish
2 oz spaghetti, fresh or dried
½ cup fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Make the red sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until golden brown and nearly translucent, 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the onion and garlic from the pot, leaving the oil behind. Set aside the fried onion and garlic for another dish.
  • Add the oregano and thyme and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, sugar, and salt. Bring the sauce to boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 20-30 minutes, until thickened.
  • Meanwhile, make the chicken: Working 1 at a time, place the chicken thighs in a zip-top bag and use a heavy skillet or meat mallet to pound into thin, even pieces.
  • Add the eggs to a shallow dish and beat with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Add flour to a separate shallow dish and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a third shallow dish, whisk together the plain and panko bread crumbs. Add the coarsely grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, parsley flakes, salt, and pepper and stir to incorporate.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Coat each piece in the flour, then the eggs, then the bread crumbs. Set the thighs on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to rest for 10 minutes before frying.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, wide skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 300°F (150°C).
  • Working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan, fry the chicken thighs in the hot oil for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and season with salt.
  • Transfer the fried chicken thighs to a clean baking sheet. Top each piece with ½ cup of the red sauce and the shredded Italian cheese blend.
  • Bake the chicken for 5-10 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
  • While the chicken bakes, add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook until al dente.
  • Warm the remaining red sauce in the pot over medium-low heat. Transfer the spaghetti directly into the sauce and toss well, adding a bit of the pasta cooking water as needed to help the sauce cling to the noodles. Add some of fresh basil leaves to the pasta and toss to incorporate.
  • Add the spaghetti and chicken Parmesan to a serving plate. Top with the grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with more basil leaves.
  • Enjoy!

CHICKEN PARMESAN



Chicken Parmesan image

A classic Italian-American Parmesan - a casserole of fried, breaded meat or eggplant covered with tomato sauce and molten cheese - is all about balance. You need a bracing a tomato sauce to cut out the fried richness, while a milky, mild mozzarella rounds out the Parmesan's tang. Baked until brown-edged and bubbling, it's classic comfort food - hearty, gooey and satisfying. Although chicken or veal cutlets are the standard, boneless, skinless chicken thighs make a more flavorful alternative. Pork or turkey cutlets work nicely here, too.

Categories     dinner, lunch, casseroles, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken, turkey or pork cutlets (or use chicken thighs for even more flavor)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
2 to 3 cups panko bread crumbs, as needed
Kosher salt, as needed
Black pepper, as needed
Olive oil, for frying
5 cups Simple Tomato Sauce (see recipe)
1 cup finely grated Parmesan, preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, torn into bite-sized pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place cutlets between two pieces of parchment or plastic wrap. Using a kitchen mallet or rolling pin, pound meat to even 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Place flour, eggs and panko into three wide, shallow bowls. Season meat generously with salt and pepper. Dip a piece in flour, then eggs, then coat with panko. Repeat until all the meat is coated.
  • Fill a large skillet with 1/2-inch oil. Place over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, fry cutlets in batches, turning halfway through, until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Spoon a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle one-third of the Parmesan over sauce. Place half of the cutlets over the Parmesan and top with half the mozzarella pieces. Top with half the remaining sauce, sprinkle with another third of the Parmesan, and repeat layering, ending with a final layer of sauce and Parmesan.
  • Transfer pan to oven and bake until cheese is golden and casserole is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Let cool a few minutes before serving.
