Looking for a tasty and creative way to prepare chicken breast? Today I made the easy, economical, and flavorful Parmesan chicken recipe for a meat main course with chicken gratin with a crispy Parmesan breadcrumb coating, definitely a simple and very tasty dish!

The Parmesan chicken slices are a dish that I am sure will please everyone, even the little ones, because it’s tender and crispy.

This main course with breaded chicken breast with breadcrumbs and Parmesan can also be prepared with other types of meat as desired, such as veal and pork.

I made a quick pan-fry and then continued cooking the chicken with bread and cheese coating in the oven, but if you prefer, extend the pan-frying step until it’s browned.

The ideal breading for the Parmesan chicken recipe is using PANKO, a specific type of flaked breadcrumb typical of Japanese cuisine and used for preparing fried shrimp, but also for vegetables and meat.

I love chicken; it’s the meat most eaten at home; it’s digestible, versatile, and if cooked properly, also light…

Steps

1) First, cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise.
2) Use a meat tenderizer to flatten the meat a little and season with salt and, if desired, a pinch of pepper.
3) In two separate plates, place the ingredients for the coating: the beaten EGGS and the flour.
4) In another plate, mix the coating (breadcrumbs or panko) with the grated Parmesan cheese and mix well to combine the flavors and textures.
5) Dip the chicken first in the flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the Parmesan mixture.
6) Heat a little oil in a pan, then cook each breaded chicken breast with breadcrumbs and grated cheese for 2-3 minutes per side.
7) When golden, transfer the cooked chicken slices from the pan to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8) Garnish each Parmesan chicken with a slice of MOZZARELLA and a tablespoon of tomato sauce, and continue cooking for the remaining minutes
9) When the BREAD CHICKEN is ready, remove the baking sheet, add a basil leaf to each piece of chicken, and serve immediately.
Enjoy your meal!
