Tips
- You can use mayonnaise as a dip for the Chicken Parmesan.
- To know if the oil is ready for cooking, dip a wooden chopstick or skewer in the bottom of the pan. If the tip releases a lot of bubbles the oil is ready for frying.
- If you want to cook the Chicken Parmesan without using so much oil, you can drizzle it with some olive oil and then bake it at 300 ᵒF for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown.
FabHow Tips
- The recipe mentioned above is for instant, deep-fried Chicken Parmesan; however, you can also make a traditional dish by using an oven.
- Season and coat the chicken as described above; for an enhanced flavor you can add around 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice to the marinade and then marinate the chicken for a few hours or overnight.
- Instead of deep-frying the chicken, just sear it in an oiled pan on both sides till it turns a light golden brown.
- Heat the oven to 350ᵒF and grease a baking dish. Arrange the cooked chicken breast in the baking dish and apply a thick layer of spaghetti sauce on top.
- Sprinkle some grated Parmesan and mozzarella cheese and bake it in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Your baked Chicken Parmesan is now ready; you can serve it with some garlic bread and spaghetti.
- For best results place the chicken breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat tenderizer or rolling pin to pound it to a uniform thickness of ½ inch.
- Alternatively, you can also slice the chicken breast into ½ inch-sized cutlets.
- You can also serve this dish with homemade mustard sauce for extra kick.
