Chicken Parmigiana (Parmesan) step by step
- One at a time; place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound until the they are 1/4 inch thick. Flip the breasts occasionally as you pound. I use a meat tenderizer to pound..
- Combine bread crumbs, garlic powder and Romano cheese and set aside on a plate..
- Dredge chicken breasts in flour..
- Beat eggs in a separate bowl and dip floured chicken breasts..
- One at a time place chicken breasts on plate with bread crumb mixture and coat breasts completely in mixture..
- Set breasts aside and allow to dry for 20-30 minutes..
- Heat oil and butter over medium high heat..
- When oil is hot add chicken breasts. (You will probably have to do this in two batches.) Fry breasts until golden brown; about 5 minutes per side..
- Place cooked breasts on paper towels to soak up some of the oil..
- Transfer breasts to a cookie sheet at top with marinara sauce and slices on Mozzarella. Sprinkle with Parmesan if you have any left over..
- Broil in oven until cheese is melted and starts to brown. (About 5 minutes but check often!).
- Optional - serve with spaghetti and marinara..
Parmigiana is Italian, and Parmesan is the American way of saying Parmigiana. If Chicken Parmigiana is your favorite Italian dish, you may be surprised to learn that it is not Italian at all. It's one of our family's favorites along with Parmesan Crusted Chicken. Chicken Parmesan is a classic for a reason! Chicken cutlets, breaded and fried, smothered with tomato sauce, and covered with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses are so good.
