THE BEST CHICKEN PARMESAN

Steps:

• Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Line another rimmed baking sheet with foil. Cut two 12-inch sheets of plastic wrap.
• Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, making 4 roughly equal pieces; they should look like large chicken tenders. Place one sheet of plastic on a clean cutting board. Put one chicken piece in the center of the plastic and top with the other sheet of plastic. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to the wire rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken, one piece at a time. Liberally sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Put the flour in a pie plate and dredge the chicken 1 piece at a time, turning to coat and packing the flour into the crevices. Shake to remove any excess and return to the rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Whisk the breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk the milk and egg in a medium bowl until combined. Dip the dredged chicken into the milk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then pack the seasoned breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken. Very gently
• shake off any excess and return to the rack. Refrigerate uncovered at least 30 minutes and up to 12 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Heat 1/3 cup of the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, oregano and red pepper flakes and cook until very fragrant but not brown, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, basil and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the tomatoes are very tender and the liquid has reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Smash the tomatoes with a potato masher until almost smooth; it's ok if it's a little chunky. Season with salt.
• Heat the remaining 1/2 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cutlets and cook until the coating is golden brown, about 1 minute per side; the chicken will not be cooked through. Transfer to the foil-lined baking sheet in a single layer 3 inches apart. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
• Arrange an oven rack directly under the broiler and preheat to high. Arrange the chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, spaced 3 inches apart. Top each cutlet with 2/3 cup of the sauce and spread evenly to coat. Sprinkle each cutlet with 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan and 1/2 cup mozzarella. Broil until the cheese melts and starts to brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the spaghetti, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain and transfer to the remaining sauce. Gently stir until the sauce coats the pasta. Transfer the spaghetti to a serving dish and top with the chicken. Sprinkle with more Parmesan and serve with torn basil.

CHICKEN PARMESAN

Steps:

• Marinara Sauce: Trim root ends of the garlic cloves, then smash with the flat side of a knife. Peel off skins and set aside. In a 4-quart Dutch oven over high heat, add oil, followed by garlic. When the garlic begins to sizzle, add a pinch of salt. Stir and toast the garlic until deep golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Add red pepper flakes (optional, for heat), reduce temperature to low, and add tomatoes. Increase heat to medium, add two pinches of salt and two pinches of sugar, and bring sauce to a simmer, 10-12 minutes. When simmering, taste and adjust for seasoning. Turn off heat.In a large bowl, add two large sprigs of basil, then pour the sauce over the basil. Set aside to steep while making the chicken. (Makes 2 quarts. Once cool, remove and discard basil; store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4-5 days or in the freezer up to 3 months).
• Chicken: Place chicken breast on a flat surface lined with parchment paper. Carefully slice in half horizontally, into 2 equal pieces. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts to make a total of 8 cutlets.Place 1 chicken cutlet into a 1-gallon zip-top plastic bag. Use a small heavy-bottomed pan or meat mallet to pound the cutlet until it's ¼-inch thick. Remove cutlet, set aside, and repeat with remaining cutlets.
• Breading: In a large bowl, add seasoned breadcrumbs, both cheeses, granulated garlic, dried oregano, potato starch, 1 teaspoon salt, and 13 grinds of pepper. Toss to combine, then set aside. In another large bowl, add flour. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 6 grinds of pepper; mix to combine. In a third bowl, add 4 eggs and beat with a fork or whisk until combined. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 6 grinds of pepper.
• One by one, dredge chicken cutlets in flour, shaking off excess flour. (Don't worry if the pounding has left some holes in the chicken-they'll soon be covered by breading and cheese!) Dip dredged chicken in the beaten egg, then into the breading mixture, carefully pressing the breading into the chicken so it adheres. Set breaded chicken on a rack fitted over a baking sheet until ready to fry. (Note: Chicken can be prepared to this point several hours in advance. Store the breaded cutlets in the refrigerator in an even layer, covered with plastic wrap or foil.)
• Fry chicken: In a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add vegetable and olive oils. (There should be about ¼-inch of oil in the pan, so adjust amounts as needed.) Test the oil's temperature by adding a few drops of water: if the water sizzles right away, the oil is ready for frying. Gently lay the chicken into the oil away from you to avoid any splatters; the oil should reach a little more than halfway up the chicken. Let fry undisturbed for about 2 minutes. Use a spatula to check the underside of the cutlet for golden brown color. When it's ready to turn over, gently and carefully flip chicken away from you and cook the other side, about 2 more minutes. (Use a second spatula or spoon if necessary, but try to avoid using tongs, as they might tear the delicate crust.) Chicken is cooked all the way through when it's firm to the touch and both sides are golden brown. Drain fried cutlet on a baking sheet lined with paper towels, and sprinkle with salt while still hot. Repeat with remaining chicken cutlets, adding more oil as needed and keeping the temperature steady.
• Assembly: Preheat broiler. In a large bowl, combine the three cheeses. Place chicken cutlets on a baking sheet in an even layer. (Depending on oven size, you can do this in batches, or use several baking sheets.) Remove basil and garlic cloves from Marinara Sauce and discard. Spread each cutlet with ¼ cup of sauce, leaving the edges uncovered, then top with a generous ¼ cup of cheese mixture. Place in the oven on a rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Don't step away-you don't want the cheese to burn! Broil 1 minute, checking after 30 seconds, and remove when cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Garnish with freshly torn basil leaves and serve immediately.

CHICKEN LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and green peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and translucent, about 15 minutes. Add the chicken, pimientos, mushroom soup, and chicken broth. Simmer the mixture until the flavors blend and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Spoon about 1/3 of the chicken mixture into a medium baking dish. Arrange 2 of the noodles over the chicken; repeat layers of chicken and noodles twice more. Top the lasagna with cheese, cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until the cheese is nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the lasagna from the oven and allow it to set for 5 minutes, then serve.

CHICKEN PARM LASAGNA ROLL-UPS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Lightly season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then slice it into strips about ½ inch (1 cm) in thickness.
• Dredge each piece of chicken in flour followed by egg and bread crumbs.
• Quickly fry chicken strips in ½ inch (1 cm) of oil over medium heat, cooking for about 30 seconds each side to color the breading. Set cooked strips aside to drain on paper towels. (NOTE: The chicken will NOT be fully cooked after this stage.)
• On a clean surface, assemble the roll-ups. Start by laying a cooked lasagna noodle flat. Using a spoon, spread marinara sauce on one end of the noodle. Next, add a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce followed by a piece of chicken. Starting from the end with the sauce on it, roll up the noodle like a sleeping bag towards the un-sauced side.
• Place each roll-up into a large casserole dish that has been lightly covered with nonstick cooking spray.
• Pour remaining sauce over roll-ups, then generously cover with mozzarella cheese.
• Bake at 350˚F (180˚C) for 20 minutes until cheese is melted and edges of lasagna noodle are slightly crisped.
• Serve and garnish with parsley.
• Enjoy!
