Mexican Chicken Parmesan Minus The Parmesan Food

TEX-MEX CHICKEN PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the chips in a food processor and pulse until they are finely ground; set aside.
• Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally so you have 4 thin chicken cutlets.
• Set up a breading station with 3 shallow dishes: Stir together the flour, chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in the first dish. Beat the eggs in the second dish and add the tortilla chips to the third dish. Coat a cutlet in the flour. Dip in the egg, letting any excess drip off and then press into the tortilla chips. Transfer to a plate and bread the remaining cutlets.
• Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until a piece of the breading sizzles when added to the oil. Add 2 breaded cutlets to the oil, making sure they don't touch each other. Fry until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the remaining 1/4 cup oil to the skillet, heat and then fry the remaining cutlets.
• Evenly spread 1/2 cup salsa on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange the chicken in a single layer on top. Pour 1/4 cup of salsa on top of each piece of chicken. Shingle the cheese evenly over the chicken.
• Bake until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the jalapeno and cilantro.

NON-BREADED CHICKEN PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350º F.
• Preheat a medium sized frying pan on medium heat.
• Season chicken on both sides with salt and chilli powder.
• Add oil to pan and then the seasoned chicken breasts. Lightly brown on both sides and then transfer to a baking sheet.
• Top with as much tomato sauce as you can fit and then sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
• Place in the oven and bake until a probe thermometer placed in the center of the thickest part of the breast reads 170º F.
• Remove from oven, garnish with fresh oregano and serve with a nice salad and some steamed vegetables.

CHICKEN PARMESAN

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat; add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the tomato sauce, basil and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low and cook until thickened, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pour some flour into a shallow bowl. Beat the egg with 1/4 cup water in another bowl. Mix the breadcrumbs, parsley and 1 tablespoon parmesan in a third bowl. Coat the chicken with the flour, then with the egg mixture and breadcrumbs. Transfer to a plate.
• Preheat the broiler. Cook the pasta as the label directs; drain. Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken; cook until golden, 3 minutes per side. Top with the sauce, mozzarella and the remaining 1 tablespoon parmesan. Transfer to the broiler until melted, about 2 minutes. Transfer the chicken to plates. Toss the pasta with the remaining sauce in the skillet and serve with the chicken. Top with basil.

MEXICAN CHICKEN "PARMESAN" (MINUS THE PARMESAN)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Pound chicken breasts to approximately 1/4-1/2 inch thickness.
• In 3 separate shallow bowls put enough flour (seasoned with salt and pepper) to lightly dredge the chicken in one bowl, 2 beaten eggs in the second and the Panko bread crumbs mixed with the taco seasoning in the 3rd.
• In the following order for each breast: dredge in the seasoned flour shaking off excess, put them next into the eggs to moisten each side and then into the Panko/taco seasoning mixture making sure to coat the chicken breast entirely. Set the prepared chicken breasts aside for a few minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the Canola oil to a large enough skillet to fit all 4 breasts and preheat the pan over med/high heat.
• Cook each breast until lightly browned on each side and remove from the pan. The chicken does not have to be cooked through as it will continue cooking in the oven.
• Place the 4 chicken breasts in a casserole dish. Top each with 1/2 cup of prepared salsa. Place in the oven for 15 minutes to finish cooking the chicken and heat the salsa through.
• Remove from the oven and top with 1/2 shredded cheese on top of each breast and return to the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and it's ready to serve.
• I serve this over Cilantro rice and add a "blop" of sour cream and some diced green onions on top.

MEXICAN CHICKEN PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix cornmeal, cumin, chile, and salt together in a bowl. Beat egg in a shallow bowl. Dip each piece of chicken in the cornmeal, then in the egg, then back in the cornmeal.
• Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Cook chicken until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a baking dish and top with sliced Monterey Jack cheese. Cover with chile sauce.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. Serve each piece with some crumbled cotija on top.

HEALTHY BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and line large baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise. You should end up with 8 thin chicken cutlets that do not require pounding.
• In a large shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir with a fork.
• Dip each cutlet into breading on both sides by pressing on it and repeating one more time (so breading sticks better). Place on a baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray and bake for 25 minutes. Then broil at 500 degrees F until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, top each cutlet with 2 tbsp marinara sauce and sprinkle with 2 tbsp cheese. Bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese has melted at 450 degrees F. I also like to spread more marinara sauce in a baking dish, transfer cutlets on top, bake and serve like that. Looks impressive.
• Serve over whole wheat spaghetti, fettuccine or zucchini noodles. Chicken parmesan also goes well with lettuce salad.

MEXICAN "CHICKEN PARMESAN"

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Beat the egg in a shallow bowl.

• Salt and pepper the chicken breast to taste and dip in the egg mixture and then into the tortilla chips. Coat both sides of the chicken well.
• Place the chicken in a greased glass baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is nearly done. (I would recommend flipping the chicken once during this time.)
• When the chicken is almost done, remove the baking dish from the oven and add 1/4 cup of salsa on top of each chicken breast, then cover with cheese.
• Place back in the oven and bake another 10 minutes until cheese is melted and salsa is heated through.
• Serve with rice or tortilla chips and salsa. You may also want to garnish with cilantro for some added flavor.
