Chicken cutlets

  • 1 ½ cups Panko bread crumbs
  • 1 ½ cups All purpose flour

Chicken Parmesan

  • 2 cups Marinara Sauce store-bought or homemade marinara recipe
  • ½ cup Shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 4 tablespoon Vegetable oil
  • 4 tablespoon Olive oil

Instructions
 

Making the Breaded Chicken Cutlets

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Pound out the chicken very thin and cut the breasts in half if they are too large.
    4 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Gather 3 shallow bowls.
  • In one place the eggs and water and mix well.
    2 Large eggs, ¼ cup Water
  • In the second, place the breadcrumbs and Parmesan and mix well.
    1 ½ cups Panko bread crumbs, ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • In the third, add the flour, salt and pepper and mix well.
    1 ½ cups All purpose flour, 1 tsp Kosher salt, ½ tsp Black pepper
  • Dip the chicken into the flour making sure to coat both sides.
  • Now dip the chicken into the egg mix, coating both sides and letting any excess egg wash drip off.
  • Now dip the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture coating both sides.
  • Place on to the prepared baking pan and repeat these steps until all the chicken is breaded.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • While the chicken is setting up, heat or make the marinara sauce in a medium pot over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cover until ready to use.
    2 cups Marinara Sauce
  • In a medium bowl, mix the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese and set aside for later.
    ½ cup Parmesan cheese, ½ cup Shredded Mozzarella cheese

Cooking the chicken Parmesan

  • Pre-heat a large skillet over medium heat for a couple of minutes.
  • Add both oils.
    4 tbsp Vegetable oil, 4 tbsp Olive oil
  • Place the chicken into the hot pan and cook on the first side for about 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. If the chicken is getting too dark, lower the heat a little.
  • Flip the chicken and cook the second side for about 3-4 minutes. While the chicken is cooking add ¼ of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top of each piece of chicken so it can melt.
  • When the chicken is done cooking and the cheese is melted, spoon some marinara sauce over the top of the cheese and let the heat of the sauce finish melting the cheese.
  • Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
