Chicken Parmesan

Description
Breaded chicken cutlets fried until crisp, finished with tomato sauce and melted cheese.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• Salt and pepper
• 3 large chicken breasts, halved into fillets
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder or onion powder
• Olive oil for frying
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 14 ounces tomato puree
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

Instructions

1. Season the chicken.
2. Make a breading mixture with the panko, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and garlic or onion powder.
3. Dip the chicken in beaten eggs mixed with garlic and parsley, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
4. Fry in olive oil until golden and cooked through.
5. For the sauce, cook the onion in olive oil until softened, add the garlic, then stir in the tomato puree and Italian herbs and simmer until flavorful.
6. Top the cooked chicken with sauce and finish with cheese if desired before serving.

Notes

• The original file cut off before the cheese-finishing details, but it is clearly a standard chicken Parmesan format.
