If you've never tried chicken parmesan, you're in for a special treat. Chicken parmigiana (or chicken parmesan) is a chicken dish made with chicken schnitzels covered in tomato sauce and topped with parmesan and mozzarella cheese. This decadent dish was invented by the 20th-century Italian Diaspora, and it's actually very quick and easy to make at home.
Ingredients for Oven-Baked Chicken Parmesan:
Method of preparing the Oven-Baked Chicken Parmesan:
-
Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Place each piece of chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap. Then flatten the chicken pieces with a meat tenderizer or an ordinary rolling pin. Each piece should be around 1/2 inches thick.
-
Dip each piece of chicken in the beaten eggs, then move it to the breadcrumbs mixed with half of the parmesan. Set aside to the fridge.
-
Heat olive oil on medium and cook the garlic until fragrant. Pour the tomatoes along with the sugar and oregano and simmer the sauce for 5-10 minutes.
-
Heat the broiler on high and cook the chicken for 5 minutes on each side. The chicken will be golden brown. Set aside.
-
Pour the tomato sauce into an ovenproof pan. Top the sauce with the grilled chicken.
-
Put the mozzarella pieces over the grilled chicken pieces. Sprinkle the grated parmesan over the chicken and broil for another 3-4 minutes. The cheese should be melted and the tomato sauce should be bubbling.
-
Serve fresh and hot with vegetables, pasta, or a salad on the side.
