Chicken Parmesan recipe, also known as Chicken Parmigiana, is a classic Italian-American dish that combines crispy breaded chicken cutlets, marinara sauce, and melted cheese. It’s a simple comfort dish that goes well with salad, spaghetti, or garlic bread. This is a detailed recipe for preparing this delectable meal.

Components:

• Regarding the chicken:
• Four skinless and boneless chicken breasts
• To taste, add salt and pepper.
• One cup of all-purpose flour
• Two huge eggs
• One tablespoon of water
• One and a half cups of breadcrumbs, ideally Italian type
• One cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
• One teaspoon of oregano, dried
• One teaspoon of powdered garlic
• Olive oil for cooking

To Assemble:

• One and a half cups of homemade or store-bought marinara sauce
• Two cups of mozzarella cheese, shredded
• (Optional) fresh basil leaves

Directions:

Step 1: Get the chicken ready

1. Set the Oven’s Temperature to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: You may either pound the thick chicken breasts with a meat mallet until they are uniformly thick or split them in half horizontally to make them thinner. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of each chicken breast.
3. A Breading Station Setup: Put the flour in a small dish. Beat the eggs with a tablespoon of water in a separate bowl. Combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, and grated Parmesan cheese in a third shallow dish.
4. Coat the Chicken: Shake off any excess flour after dipping each chicken breast into it. After that, dip it into the egg wash and then the breadcrumb mixture, softly pressing to ensure a good coating.

Step 2: Cook the chicken

1. Heat the Oil: Heat roughly two tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. The breaded chicken breasts should be gently added to the heated oil. Avoid packing the skillet too full; you might have to cook in batches.
2. Fry Until Golden: Fry the chicken until golden brown and crispy, 3–4 minutes per side. After the chicken is cooked, move it to a dish covered with paper towels so that any extra oil may be drained.

Step 3: Put the Chicken Parmesan together

1. Add Sauce and Cheese: Lightly coat the bottom of a baking dish with marinara sauce. Top with the fried chicken breasts. Top each chicken breast with shredded mozzarella cheese and more marinara sauce.
2. Bake: Bake the chicken for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and melted, in a preheated oven.

Step 4: Serve

1. Pasta preparation (optional): Prepare the noodles as directed on the box while the chicken bakes. If preferred, drain and mix with more marinara sauce or a little olive oil.
2. Garnish and Serve: Take the chicken out of the oven when it’s done. If desired, garnish with fresh basil. For a full supper, serve the chicken parmesan over pasta or with garlic bread on the side.

Advice: 

1. Make it Gluten-Free: To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
2. Prepare Ahead: Before frying, you may bread the chicken in advance and place it in the refrigerator for a few hours.
3. more Flavor: Before adding the cheese, you can top the marinara sauce with some fresh herbs or Italian spice for more taste.

A tasty and substantial dish, chicken parmesan is ideal for get-togethers or family dinners. Savor the flavorful sauce and melted cheese with the crispy chicken for a filling and cozy dinner!
