How To Fry Chicken Parm: A Delicious and Simple Recipe

Chicken Parmesan, also known as Chicken Parm, is a classic Italian-American dish that is loved by many. Crispy breaded chicken cutlets topped with tangy marinara sauce and melted cheese – what’s not to love? In this blog post, I’ll guide you through the steps of frying chicken Parmesan to perfection. So, let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Chopped fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Start by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This will ensure that they cook evenly and result in tender chicken Parmesan.
2. In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
3. Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
4. Coat the chicken breasts with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken.
5. In a large skillet, heat enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Place the breaded chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
8. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place the fried chicken breasts on top of the sauce.
9. Top each chicken breast with a generous amount of marinara sauce, followed by a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
12. Garnish with chopped fresh basil, if desired, and serve with your favorite pasta or a side salad.
