Chicken Parmigiana Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken Cutlets

   Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Breading the Chicken

   Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and the third with breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken cutlet first in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

3. 3

   Fry the Chicken

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded chicken cutlets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Assemble the Chicken Parmigiana

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the fried chicken cutlets in a baking dish. Spoon house red sauce over each cutlet, then top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

5. 5

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

6. 6

   Cook the Pasta

   While the chicken is baking, cook the mafaldine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and toss with a bit of olive oil, salt, and fresh basil.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the chicken parmigiana hot over a bed of mafaldine pasta, garnished with extra basil if desired.
