Recipe of the Month - Chicken Parmigano

CHICKEN PARMIGANO -  Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 large whole boneless skinless chicken breasts 
  • 2 cups dry bread crumbs seasoned with grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups Italian tomato sauce
  • fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced or grated
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  Skillet, oven-proof dish; oven with broiler.

METHOD:

PREHEAT oven to 400 degrees F.

  1. TRIM and carefully slice the chicken breasts so you have thin escalope type slices  and coat with the breadcrumbs.
  2. ON medium-high heat, melt the butter together with the olive oil. Sautee the breaded chicken until they are deep golden brown on both sides. 
  3. Warm the tomato sauce or ragu in a saucepan and spread a layer on the bottom of a baking dish.
  4. Add the cooked cutlets to the baking dish and cover with the rest warm tomato sauce and the sliced/grated mozzarella.
  5. COOK the chicken parmesan in the oven for ten minutes until the cheese has melted/browned. Keep an eye on it so the cheese does not burn.
  6. SERVE with grated Parmesan cheese and with pasta or a green salad and or bread.

VARIATION: For a thicker crustier escalope dip the chicken first in flour, then in a beaten, raw egg before adding the breadcrumbs.
