Ingredients




8 (3-ounces each) chicken cutlets
1/2 cup flour
3 eggs beaten
2 cups Italian style bread crumbs
vegetable oil for frying (you can bake them too, but they're better fried!)
4 cups mozzarella cheese (depending on how much cheese you like)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (Grated fresh, not from a green can)
quart and ½ (48 oz) Marinara sauce

Preparation

1 Depending on how think your chicken breasts are, place them under plastic wrap and pound until thin. If you don't have a meat pounder, use a heavy pot of skillet. You can also fillet these with a knife. 2 Get 3 pie plates or containers. Put flour in one, beaten eggs in one and bread crumbs in one. 3 Dredge chicken breast in flour, then in the egg wash, and then the bread crumbs. 4 Fry cutlets in vegetable oil over med heat. Fry until golden brown. 5 Spread a little marinara on the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish. 6 Make a layer of chicken. Add more marinara. Use most of the first quart. Add a layer of the cheeses. Repeat layers. Sprinkle parsley over last layer of cheese. Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven covered for 35 minutes. uncover and bake until top is bubbly!

About


Chicken Parmesan is a true Italian comfort food! It is great to serve at a dinner party. I love to eat Chicken Parmesan, with a fresh green salad and some crunchy garlic bread! It is time consuming, but Chicken Parmesan can be made days in advance. I make 2 batches and freeze one for another meal!
