Chicken Parmesan
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
1 garlic clove, minced
½ shallot, minced
1 can of tomato sauce
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups breadcrumbs
6 Tablespoons olive oil, split
1 Tablespoon Italian Seasonings
Salt and pepper
8 ounces of cooked spaghetti noodles
Method
Dice the garlic and shallot, and place them in a small bowl.
Pound out the chicken breasts to tenderize them and ensure they are all the same thickness. Place on a wax paper-lined plate.
Using 1 Tablespoon of the olive oil, sauté the garlic and the shallot in a small saucepan until fragrant. Add the Italian seasoning and stir well to incorporate the flavors. Add 1 can of tomato sauce and continue stirring until all the ingredients are well combined. Turn off the heat and set aside.
Set up a dredging station with the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Add salt and pepper to each element of the station. Dip each chicken breast into the flour, then into the eggs, and finally into the breadcrumbs, until all the chicken is breaded. Set each breast onto a dry surface.
In a large skillet over medium heat, fry each chicken breast in the remaining olive oil until both sides are golden brown. Set on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
Add the browned chicken onto a cookie tray or aluminum pan and a small amount of sauce onto each chicken breast. Add a bit of each cheese to each one, then place the pan into a preheated 400-degree oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the chicken from the oven. Add a bit of the sauce-covered spaghetti noodles to the plate, top with one piece of the chicken, and serve with garlic toast or a small Caesar salad. Enjoy!
The remaining cooked chicken can be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container and used at a later time, with the sauce, to achieve the same results.
