Easy Chicken Parmesan Recipes
If you are looking for easy Chicken Parmesan
recipes, you've come to
the right place. A while back my wife watched an online movie clip for
a Chicken Parmesan. She showed it to me and I thought, "that looks
pretty easy". I tried it and loved it. The recipe didn't come with a marinara
sauce
recipe, so I invented one to go with it. I have since created my own
version that makes it a little healthier and easier to make. This has
turned into one of my wife's favorites out of all the easy Chicken
Parmesan recipes.
Tip:
When I make these easy chicken Parmesan
recipes, I like to buy large high quality (lean) chicken breasts, such
as Tyson chicken breasts. I then cut it in half through the middle to
make 2 thinner pieces. The top piece is usually 3-4 ounces (one serving
size) and the bottom is 6-8 ounces. So, I cut the bottom into 2 pieces.
This gives me 3 serving size pieces out of every breast.
If you are a big eater, you can simply butterfly the chicken. To do
this, cut it through the middle, but don't go all the way through. You
you should be able to open it like a butterfly to make one large
breast. |

Chicken Parmesan: My
Version
|
|
|
|
|
|
The major difference between my version and the
original recipe is
that I don't bread, fry, or bake the chicken. I grill it. If you want
the breaded version, see the recipe below.
Ingredients:
4 (3-4 oz) chicken breasts
4 (1 oz) slices mozzarella cheese
salt
pepper
marinara
sauce
Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Salt and pepper the chicken to your liking.
The best way to
cook the chicken is to throw it on the BBQ grill (on medium heat if you
have a gas grill). Cook on one side until it looks cooked (meat turns
from pink to white). Flip and grill on the other side. When it is
getting close to being done, place the mozzarella on top and let it
melt. Serve hot topped with marinara sauce, then Parmesan Cheese.
| Tip:
If
you don't have a BBQ grill or it's too cold outside, you can use the
broiler on your oven (you can actually do this with any of your
favorite grilling recipes). The only difference is you will be cooking
from the top instead of the bottom. Due to this fact, make sure your
chicken is fully cooked before you add the cheese. |

Chicken Parmesan: Breaded
Style
|
|
|
|
|
|
The major difference between my version and the
original recipe is
that I don't bread, fry, or bake the chicken. I grill it. If you want
the breaded version, see the recipe below.
Ingredients:
4 (3-4 oz) chicken breasts
4 (1 oz) slices mozzarella cheese
2 eggs
1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
Salt
Pepper
Flour
Bread Crumbs
marinara
sauce
Parmesan Cheese
Directions:
In a bowl mix the 2 eggs, 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese,
and a little salt and pepper (more or less depending on your liking).
Put
some flour on a plate. Press both sides of the chicken into the flour,
then pat off the excess (do it like you were giving a gentle spanking).
Make sure the chicken is fully coated.
Dip the chicken into the egg mixture to coat both sides.
Put
the bread crumbs on a plate. Press both sides of the chicken into the
bread crumbs, then pat off the excess (just like we did with the
flour). Make sure the chicken is fully coated.
Now, there are
two methods of cooking the chicken. Choose one of these methods. (The
first gives you a restaurant style, the second give you a healthier,
yet still tasty version).
1. Add a few tablespoons of butter to
a frying pan. Fry the chicken on both sides until it looks crispy and
done. Remove from fry pan. Put chicken in baking dish and top with
mozzarella cheese, and marinara sauce. Bake for 15 minutes at 350° or
until cheese is melted and sauce is hot. Top with Parmesan cheese and
serve.
2. Place chicken on broiler pan. Broil in oven until top
is cooked. Turn chicken over and broil until the other side is done.
Put cheese on top and let broil until cheese is melted. Top with
marinara sauce, then Parmesan cheese and serve.
