Receta Chicken Parmesan
Welcome to Creations by Kara! I hope you'll c
I just looked back at all my recent recipe posts and realized you guys are probably thinking I feed my kids a steady diet of sugar. I promise that although they would love it, I don't. Sometimes in between the ice cream and cookies, I manage to sneak in a vegetable or two. We actually had a lovely chicken strip salad for dinner tonight. Really.
Since my posts have been a little on the sweet side lately, I thought it was high time I shared a main dish recipe. I based this loosely on a recipe I found over at Picky Palate. I like using either homemade spaghetti sauce that I have stored in the freezer, or a can of pre-made spaghetti sauce. Makes for much quicker preparation!
Chicken Parmesan
- For chicken:
- 4 chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2" thickness
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- Additional ingredients:
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 jar of your favorite marinara sauce, heated through
- Hot cooked pasta
In one shallow container, combine flour, salt, and pepper. In a second, combine eggs and water and beat well. In a third, combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Dip chicken breasts in flour mixture, then in eggs, then in crumbs. *Place on a well greased cookie sheet or in a 9×13" pan. Bake at 375° for about 25 minutes, or till chicken juices run clear. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake an additional 5 minutes or till cheese is melted. Serve chicken with pasta and sauce.
Tips:
-I have found that if I place the chicken on a cooling rack on a cookie sheet, the bottom crisps up better. I just spray the cooling rack with non-stick spray, and place it inside my jelly roll pan.
