The North End Italian Chicken Cutlet Parmigiana image

From "The North End Italian" cookbook. This is meant to go with Recipe #317410, but a good jarred marinara would work. You can make your own cutlets by pounding boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin pieces.

Time 45m

Yield 4 cutlets, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 eggs
salt and pepper
3 cups breadcrumbs, more if needed
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 lb chicken cutlet
olive oil (for frying)
2 cups marinara sauce
4 -8 slices mozzarella cheese

  • BREAD COATING: In a semi flat dish, mix bread crumbs, grated cheese and parsley.
  • TO COAT CUTLETS: Dip cutlets in egg wash.
  • Roll in bread crumbs, bearing down to allow bread to stick to the chicken.

  • When oil is hot, add the chicken cutlets without crowding.
  • Lower the heat and cook until well browned on both sides, turning only once.
  • Continue until all the cutlets are cooked, adjusting heat so that the chicken is always sizzling, but not burning.
  • BAKING: Place the chicken cutlets, in one layer, on a shallow baking pan.
  • Top each cutlet with a spoonful of marinara and a thin slice of mozzarella.
  • Bake in the 350F oven for 15 minutes or until mozzarella turns golden brown and cutlet are cooked.
  • Serve immediately with extra sauce.
