My wife’s favorite dish is Chicken Parmesan, so for her birthday every year I make this one for her. I have cooked this one many time (outside of just hr birthdays). I have tweaked it so many times to get one that was easy and tasted awesome and here it is!

Serves 4
Total Time
1 hr
Ingredients
- 4 Boneless Chicken Breasts
- Salt & Pepper
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs
- 1 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1/4 Cup Flour
- Tomato/Marinara Sauce ( need a recipe? Use this.. https://youtu.be/tJbuufsxMvA )
- 1/4 Cup Shredded Mozzarella
- Sliced Provolone Cheese
- 1/4 Fresh Basil
Instructions
- 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.
- In three shallow bowls place flour, 2 beaten eggs, and Panko Crumbs mixed with 1/2 Cup of Parmesan Cheese.
- Dredge Breasts through flour then 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 a few tbsp. of 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.
- Place chicken in a baking dish and top each breast with tomato sauce. Layer each chicken breast with equal amounts of mozzarella cheese, and provolone cheese. Sprinkle rest of Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 - 15 minutes, then add your dried basil and back for another 5 - 7 minutes, until cheese is browned and bubbly, and chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center.
Notes
- These you have it an insanely great Chicken Parmesan, my wife would love going out to grab this at a couple of our local Italian restaurants until I nailed this recipe down. Now she would much rather have mine then any restaurant out there. So I know any one you serve this to will love it also!
- This goes great on top of some home made pasta so if you really want to wow people try it with everything from scratch. Here are a couple links to an easy Tomato Sauce and Homemade Pasta
