Treat your family to an amazing Italian dinner! Crispy chicken parmesan coated in panko bread crumbs and topped with marinara sauce.

Chicken Parmesan

chicken breast (about 2 pounds)

kosher salt (for seasoning)

black pepper (for seasoning)

eggs

olive oil

all-purpose flour

panko bread crumbs

parmesan cheese (freshly grated)

vegetable oil (divided)

marinara sauce (jarred

mozzarella

basil

Preheat the Oven

Set the oven rack to the middle position. Preheat to 450ºF (232ºC).

Prepare the Chicken

Thoroughly dry chicken breasts with a paper towel. Place one of the pieces in between two plastic sheets or in a large plastic bag and flatten to an even ½-inch thickness. Repeat with remaining pieces. Generously season both sides of the chicken breast with salt and pepper.

Setup a Breading Station

Put the flour into a separate shallow bowl. Whisk together eggs and olive oil in a shallow medium bowl. Combine panko and parmesan cheese in a shallow bowl.

The Breading Procedure

Dip chicken in flour, shaking off any excess coating. Next, dip in egg wash, making sure to coat completely and drain any excess. Lastly, dip in the breadcrumbs lightly, pressing to coat evenly. Repeat the process with the remaining pieces.

Fry the Chicken

Heat ½ cup of vegetable oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place two pieces of chicken in the pan. Fry until the first side is golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes.Turn heat down to medium and flip the chicken. Cook until golden brown and an internal temperature of 160ºF (71ºC), about 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to briefly drain the excess oil, and then place on a wire cooling rack set on top of a sheet pan.

Discard the Used Oil

Discard the excess oil and wipe the pan clean. Add in ½ cup of fresh vegetable oil, and repeat the same cooking procedure with the 2 remaining pieces.

Bake the Chicken

Place fried chicken in a baking dish or foil-lined sheet pan. Top each piece with ¼ cup of marinara sauce, and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and the sauce is warm, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Garnish and Serve

Right before serving, garnish with freshly chopped basil.

Tender juicy and flavorful pan grilled chicken breasts are topped with basil pesto, parmesan and mozzarella cheese, and baked in a fresh quick homemade marinara sauce.

Grilled Chicken Parmesan

boneless chicken breast chicken breasts

salt

pepper

oregano (dried)

marinara sauce (batch of quick homemade)

basil pesto

parmesan cheese (grated)

mozzarella cheese (shredded)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Bring out a 9 inch by 13 inch oven safe plate and pour tow thirds of the marinara sauce at the bottom of the plate. Set aside.

Preheat a cast iron grill pan (or any skillet of your choice) over medium heat and add in the olive oil.

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper and dried oregano on both sides.

When the pan is ready, sear the chicken on one side for 3 minutes and then flip it and sear it for an extra 3 minutes. Lower the heat to medium low and flip the chicken one last time,and continue to cook for another 2 minutes.

Sprinkle the cheeses on top ( about 1/4 cup of cheese in total per chicken piece).

Place the plate in the oven and bake for 15-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the chicken absorbs much of the marinara flavour.

I can't believe how easy and delicious this was!! My whole family just loved it!!!

I love chicken parmesan but it's even better to find a lighter version of it with this delicious recipe! The addition of pesto is amazing!

Up until right now I'd never thought about grilling chicken for chicken parm, but I'm definitely going to try it this week! Grilled chicken is always so flavorful and juicy.

Love this new way to have chicken parm! We just brought out the grill too!

What a delicious meal! I love that you made the chicken parmesan with grilled chicken. The flavors sound amazing!

Grilling the chicken and pesto on this sounds amazing!  Definitely going to be a big hit in my house,

Love the grilled version of the classic chicken parma! Will definitely be giving this a go for a midweek dinner :)

I was looking for a non-breaded chicken parmesan recipe because my girlfriend doesn't like breaded anything. I found this one and it looked good and had good reviews. I was not prepared for what I got! It looked good enough that I bought high end ingredients and prepared exactly as the recipe stated. The first time I do a recipe, I like to cook how the chef intended. This was the most amazing thing I've cooked in the recent past. The marinara alone is worth making over and over. I'll use this marinara recipe for pasta's for a long time to come I'm sure. I will make this dish again!

This is so good! Made using jar sauce that I jazzed up by using the deglazed drippings from the chicken breast sautéed with garlic, fresh basil and oregano, mushrooms, and sliced colored baby tomatoes. I didn’t have pesto, so I used an Italian herbs paste. Served over spaghetti noodles... family loved it!

Parm is my favorite, growing up in a family that came from Italy my mom and grandmother only made eggplant parm so I never got to have the chicken parm until I was in college. I really enjoyed your version and will be making it again.

Made this today and it was such a hit with my family. This is definitely added to our dinner rotation from now!

Can't wait to try this recipe, I know my family will love it!

Love that you still get all that amazing flavor but with a healthier twist. Fantastic!

Love how you skinnyed this up!  This type of dinner is on regular rotation at my house so lightening it up is greatly appreciated.  Can't wait to try this out on my teens!

I really enjoyed this. I had some basil in my garden that I wanted to pick, so this was the perfect opportunity. The chicken did take longer than the recipe said, but I also did not split the breasts.
