Chicken Parmesan

My version of chicken Parmesan is a little different than what they do in the restaurants, with less sauce and a crispier crust.

Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs, or more as needed

  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or more if needed

  • ½ cup olive oil for frying, or as needed

  • ½ cup prepared tomato sauce

  • ¼ cup fresh mozzarella, cut into small cubes

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil

  • ½ cup grated provolone cheese

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil


Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  2. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2-inch.

Cook's Note:

Use high-quality prepared tomato sauce for a better end result. You may substitute pesto or dried Italian herbs of your choice for basil, or omit entirely.
