Chicken Parmesan

My version of chicken Parmesan is a little different than what they do in the restaurants, with less sauce and a crispier crust.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  • Mix bread crumbs and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl, set aside.
    1 cup  panko bread crumbs, or more as needed, ¾  cup  grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • Place flour in a sifter or strainer; sprinkle over chicken breasts, evenly coating both sides.
    2 tbsp  all-purpose flour, or more if needed
  • Dip a flour-coated chicken breast in beaten eggs. Transfer breast to the bread crumb mixture, pressing crumbs into both sides. Repeat for each breast. Let chicken rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

  • Heat 1/2 inch olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Cook chicken in the hot oil until golden, about 2 minutes per side. The chicken will finish cooking in the oven.
    ½ cup  olive oil for frying, or as needed
  • Transfer chicken to a baking dish. Top each breast with 2 tablespoons tomato sauce. Layer each chicken breast with equal amounts of mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and provolone cheese. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over top and drizzle each with 1/2 teaspoon 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).

Notes

Use high-quality prepared tomato sauce for a better end result. You may substitute pesto or dried Italian herbs of your choice for basil, or omit entirely.
