    Chicken Parmesan is one of those classic recipes everyone loves that is so simple to prepare. Whats not to love about breaded crisp chicken cutlets, rich marinara sauce and melted cheese!

    If you want to add some exceptional flavour to this recipe be sure to cook up a batch of my Homemade Marinara Sauce, so much tastier than store bought tomato sauce.

    The key to great tasting chicken parmesan is to fry the chicken until it is golden and crisp yet moist inside. I pound my chicken breasts down to about ¼ inch thickness and pan fry until done. If you prefer thicker chicken, skip the pounding, pan fry until golden brown then transfer to a baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven. This will avoid over-browning or burning the coating.

      Chicken Parmesan is one of my favorites. Love the addition of panko bread crumbs for that crunchy texture. Looks delicious!

        Thanks Amy, I prefer using Panko over regular bread crumbs, you get a nice crunchy texture, never soggy.

      Hi Hannah, that's a great problem to have! for the sauce I've always been able to have it thicken just by keeping heat to a slow simmer, uncovered, then most of the water content evaporates. I might have to try the bourbon, I love booze in food.

      […] Marinara sauce is a classic Italian sauce using simple ingredients, tomatoes, onion, garlic and herbs. A good marinara is all about simplicity starting with good quality tomatoes such as San Marzano. I used canned tomatoes in this recipe but really ripe fresh will work as well. This time of year fresh ripe tomatoes that taste great are hard to come by in Alberta. This recipe was perfect for my Chicken Parmesan. […]
