There’s a reason Chicken Parmesan is an Italian favorite: it’s savory, flavorful and super cheesy. This recipe encapsulates all of this with its Parmesan breading, blend of spices and unforgettable tomato-based sauce.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 shallots, peeled and chopped
1 can Tuttorosso Crushed Tomatoes with basil 28 oz
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
- 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Step one
In large saucepan heat 4 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots; sauté until tender. Add crushed tomatoes, parsley, oregano and crushed red pepper. Simmer until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Mix in basil and season with salt and black pepper.
Step two
Blend breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in small bowl. Place flour and eggs in separate shallow bowls. Coat the chicken with flour, then eggs, then breadcrumb mixture, patting to adhere.
Step three
Heat remaining 3 tablespoons of oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Spoon ¼ cup of sauce over each chicken breast. Sprinkle with cheese. Preheat broiler for 5 minutes. Place skillet under broiler to melt cheese. Re-warm remaining sauce and serve with chicken. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
