Video: Chef Zee Chicken Parm Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1-2 chicken breasts (2 for large batch)
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 3 cups Italian-seasoned and panko bread crumbs
  • fresh mozzarella
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried Italian or Greek oregano
  • salt & pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Prepare Italian-American Tomato Sauce.
  2. Prepare spaghetti or tagliatelle with Pasta Dough.

Instructions

  1. On a plate, mix together breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Preheat the oven to 450°.
  3. Whisk together eggs in a bowl large enough to fit a cutlet.
  4. Cut chicken breasts horizontally into thirds (or fourths, depending on how thick), cover with plastic wrap, and use a mallet to pound the chicken breasts out into even cutlets (about 1/4 inch thick). Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to both sides.
  5. Dip cutlet one at a time into the whisked eggs and cover in breadcrumbs. Place onto a roasting rack.
  6. Cook the chicken for 10 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 10 minutes. The cutlets should cook all of the way through (165°) and take on a golden brown color.
  7. Spread tomato sauce evenly into the bottom of a baking dish and place a layer of cooked chicken cutlets. Cover in more sauce.
  8. Top with sliced mozzarella.
  9. Bake at uncovered 450° until cheese is melted.
