Chicken Parmesan Made With Panko Crumbs Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2-inch. Season chicken thoroughly with salt and pepper.
• Beat eggs in a shallow bowl and set aside.
• Mix bread crumbs and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl, set aside.
• Place flour in a sifter or strainer; sprinkle over chicken breasts, evenly coating both sides.
• Dip flour coated chicken breast in beaten eggs. Transfer breast to breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs into both sides. Repeat for each breast. Set aside breaded chicken breasts for about 15 minutes.
• Heat 1 cup olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Cook chicken until golden, about 2 minutes on each side. The chicken will finish cooking in the oven.
• Place chicken in a baking dish and top each breast with about 1/3 cup of tomato sauce. Layer each chicken breast with equal amounts of mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and provolone cheese. Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese on top and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is browned and bubbly, and chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Beat eggs in a bowl. Combine cheeses, bread crumbs and spices in a separate bowl.
• Dip chicken pieces in egg, then bread crumb mixture, then egg, then bread crumb mixture again.
• Place chicken on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
• Serve over pasta with marinara sauce and mozzarella. Or place chicken on a hoagie roll with marinara and mozzarella for a Chicken Parmesan Sub. Also great for dipping with marinara or ranch.

Steps:

• In a pie plate put the flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.
• In a second pie plate put the eggs and water. Beat together with a fork and set aside.
• In a third pie plate put the seasoned break crumbs and the panko (Japanese bread crumbs). Stir to combine and set aside.
• In a large nonstick frying pan put the oil and butter and heat over medium heat until the butter melts.
• Wash one chicken breast under cold running water and then dip in the flour mixture, covering well.
• Next, dip the chicken in the egg mixture.
• Finally, dip the chicken in the bread crumbs and then put into the frying pan.
• Repeat with 1-2 more chicken breast pieces and then fry until the chicken breasts are golden on both sides and a fork pierced into the meat shows that the meat is tender and cooked through.
• As the chicken pieces cook, remove the cooked pieces and add more to the pan until you have cooked 4-6 chicken breast pieces.
• To plate put a little marinara sauce on the plate. Top with a piece of cooked chicken. Top with some more marinara sauce, fresh chopped basil and the mozzarella cheese on the very top. Either broil in the oven or heat in the microwave just until the cheese melts.
• Serve at once with pasta on the side.
• Note: I usually either buy thin slices of chicken breast, buy chicken breast pieces that are not very fat, or pound the chicken breasts to flatten them.
