For 2 servings
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
Chicken breasts | 2 pieces |
Butter | 2 tablespoons |
Breadcrumbs | 1 cup |
Garlic | 2 cloves |
Onion | 1 piece |
Tomato paste | 2 tablespoons |
Eggs | 2 pieces |
Grated Parmesan cheese | 1 cup |
Basil | As needed |
To prepare Chicken Parmesan, slice each chicken breast horizontally into two pieces so that you have four thin chicken fillets in total.
Mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper together.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until they become completely smooth and well combined.
Place a non-stick pan over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the thickness of the chicken slices.
Dip the chicken breasts into the beaten eggs and shake gently to remove the excess egg. Then coat them with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Press the coating firmly onto the surface of the chicken with your hands, then fry both sides in the oil until golden and crispy.
In another pan, sauté the chopped garlic and onion in butter. Then add the tomato paste, half a cup of water, chopped basil, salt, and pepper. Allow the sauce to cook over low heat until it thickens.
To prepare baked Chicken Parmesan, choose a deep oven-safe dish and pour the sauce into the dish. Place the fried chicken breasts on top of the sauce.
To make the baked Chicken Parmesan more delicious, spread a spoonful of sauce over each piece of chicken and place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 10–15 minutes until the cheese melts.
Chicken Parmesan is usually served with pasta, but you can also serve it in other ways, such as with bread, French fries, mashed potatoes, or Caesar salad.
Chicken Parmesan should ideally be baked in the oven to achieve a crispier texture. However, if you do not have an oven, you can complete the final step of preparing Chicken Parmesan in a covered pan over low heat on the stovetop and wait until the cheese melts.
The no-oven Chicken Parmesan recipe is just as delicious, but the crispy chicken pieces will lose some of their crunchiness.
