Introduction
This classic chicken parmigiana recipe features perfectly breaded, crispy chicken breasts topped with flavorful pomodoro sauce and a rich blend of melted mozzarella, fontina, and parmesan cheeses. It is an amazing, easy weeknight meal that is loaded with authentic Italian-American flavor.
Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts in half widthwise, place them between plastic wrap, and pound them with a mallet until they are 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick.
Step 2
Prepare the first dredging station by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with sea salt and black pepper to taste in a shallow pan.
Step 3
Prepare the second station by cracking 3 large eggs into a pan, seasoning with salt and pepper, and whisking well.
Step 4
Prepare the third station by adding 1 1/2 cups of unseasoned bread crumbs to a pan, seasoning with salt and pepper, and mixing thoroughly.
Step 5
Dredge each chicken cutlet first in the seasoned flour, then coat completely in the egg wash, and finally press firmly into the bread crumbs to ensure a complete and even coating.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
It is crucial to season every stage of the breading process (the flour, the egg wash, and the bread crumbs) with salt and pepper to ensure maximum flavor.
Pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness of 1/4 to 1/3 inch ensures they cook quickly and evenly.
Using a blend of mozzarella, fontina, and parmesan cheeses provides a perfect balance of creamy meltability and savory, sharp flavor.
You can use other high-smoke-point oils like canola or vegetable oil for frying if you prefer.
