Crispy Cheesy Chicken Parmesan
Crispy Cheesy chicken parmesan
Make this crispy, cheesy chicken parmesan when your craving classic Italian, but need it to be simple and quick.
This is my go to recipe when I want a whole family pleasing meal, or I want to feed a crowd.. It’s prefect for those holiday get- togethers when you want a meal that you put in the oven, and forget about it.
Tips when making Crispy Cheesy Chicken Parmesan
The secret to this crispy cheesy parmesan chicken? I use equal parts of cheese and bread crumbs, to coat the chicken, before oven frying it.
When oven frying the important thing to keep in mind is, the oven and pan need to be smoking hot before you put the chicken in it.
If it’s not you’ll have more bread crumbs on the pan than on the chicken.
Another tip…if you refrigerate the chicken after breading, the bread crumbs stick to the chicken better.
This is a great family meal to serve any day of the week, but fancy enough for your next Saturday dinner party.
It’s delicious and looks pretty on any table, not to mention almost everyone loves Italian. I like to use this casserole dish to bake the chicken, and serve it in this uncovered 8 x 8 casserole dish .
This Crispy cheesy chicken parmesan dish will be your go-to-recipe when serving family and friends.
If you want a complete meal, precook some penne or rigatoni pasta, toss it with the marinara, top it with chicken and bake, for a baked pasta meal.
You’ll want to make extra, this chicken parmesan dinner is great for next day reheats or freeze it for ready make meals.
