#BEST CHICKEN PARMESAN RECIPE FULL#
See the recipe box below for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions.
Marinara sauce: Use store-bought or homemade Marinara sauce or tomato sauce. If you don't have Italian seasoning, use one or two of these herbs instead. The main herbs in Italian seasoning are basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary. Seasonings: I like using salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. This means that the cheese doesn't melt as well. Pre-shredded cheese contains preservatives that help to keep the shreds of cheese from clumping in the bag. The cheese will melt better when freshly shredded. I recommend shredding your own cheese rather than purchasing bagged pre-shredded cheese. Cheese: Use Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Use store-bought or homemade breadcrumbs. If you use unseasoned breadcrumbs, taste the breadcrumbs after you add the seasonings called for in the recipe, and add a little more of any of the seasonings if you feel it necessary. Breadcrumbs: I love using seasoned breadcrumbs but you can use unseasoned instead. Chicken: Use 1 (5 to 6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast. See below for ways to use leftover ingredients.

We keep the exterior crunchy by replacing half of the bread crumbs, which are prone to getting soggy, with grated or shredded Parmesan cheese. Baking the chicken in high heat for a relatively short time helps it stay moist and juicy and prevents it from drying. The chicken is extra juicy: Dry chicken and a soggy crust are typical in many versions of Chicken Parmesan, but not this one. The dish originates from Melanzane alla Parmigiana, which is a classic Italian dish featuring eggplant layered with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, otherwise known as Eggplant Parmesan.
