What is a Chicken Parmigiana?
Chicken Parmigiana, often simply called Parmi, is a popular Italian American dish that consists of a breaded and fried chicken cutlet topped with marinara sauce and melted cheese, usually mozzarella and sometimes Parmesan.
The dish is typically served over pasta, but it can also be enjoyed on its own or as a sandwich filling.
Basic Ingredients:
● Chicken breasts, pounded thin
● Bread crumbs
● Eggs
● Flour
● Marinara sauce
● Mozzarella cheese
● Parmesan cheese
● Salt, pepper, and other seasonings
● Olive oil for frying
Steps to Make Chicken Parmigiana:
- Preparation: Preheat the oven and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- Breading: Dredge the chicken breasts in flour, then dip them in beaten eggs, and finally coat them with bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper.
- Frying: Heat olive oil in a skillet and fry the breaded chicken until it is golden brown on both sides.
- Assembly: Place the fried chicken in the prepared baking dish, and spoon marinara sauce over each piece. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Baking: Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken is cooked through.
- Serving: Serve hot, often over pasta or with a side of garlic bread.
