Breaded Parmesan Chicken

I like this served over lightly lemon juice seasoned egg noodles or rice and sprinkled with a bit more Parmesan ;-)

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breast halves
  • 1/2 cup panko crumbs
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder or 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp. dried basil
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

Flatten chicken to 1/4 inch thickness.

Combine panko crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and basil in a shallow bowl and beat the egg in another bowl. Dip chicken into egg and then coat with the crumb mixture.

Brown the chicken in oil over medium heat in a large skillet for 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.

Parmesan Chicken and Spaghetti

I like this recipe because it's quick, easy, inexpensive and delicious. We all love that! I serve it with the sides of salad and garlic toast. It's chicken patties, topped with melted provolone cheese. I prefer Great Value, the Wal-mart brand. They are all white meat and juicy. Serve with spaghetti noodles, both topped with your favorite spaghetti sauce. Delicious!

Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken breast patties (you can use fresh chicken breasts, but it will cost more)
  • 1/2 box spaghetti noodles
  • spaghetti sauce (your preference, I use Hunts 4 Cheese, it's only .99 cents a can)
  • provolone cheese slices

Directions:

Bake chicken patties at 375 degrees F for 8 minutes. Turn them over and bake for additional 4 minutes. Add a slice of provolone cheese on top each one and bake until melted.

While doing your chicken, let noodles cook in boiling water. If you add a teaspoon of oil to the water, it won't have the white foamy stuff boil up with it.

When chicken and noodles are cooked, serve them side by side both topped with sauce. You're done :) I serve mine with a salad and garlic toast.

Skillet Chicken Parmigiana

This is chicken parmigiana made in a skillet. I actually like to use brown eggs instead of white ones, since they are healthier when I can. This is also good served over steaming hot spaghetti topped with pasta sauce and cheese, like our favorite restaurant serves it :)

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 lb.)
  • 1/3 cup Italian style bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 2 cups pasta sauce (any kind, except Alfredo, the white kind)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (2 oz.)

Directions:

Between two sheets of wax paper, or plastic wrap, flatten each chicken piece to 1/4 inch thickness.

Mix bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. In another dish, beat egg. Dip chicken into egg and then coat with bread crumb mixture.

Heat oil in 12 inch skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in oil 10 15 minutes, turning once until no longer pink in center. Pour pasta sauce over chicken in skillet, heat until hot. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over chicken.

Italian Chicken Parmesan

Here's a recipe I just tried and LOVED:

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 envelope dry italian salad dressing mix (I used Good Seasons Zesty Italian)
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

Mix all of this together in a bowl, then dredge moist boneless skinless chicken breasts through it. Place the chicken in a shallow baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray.

Bake at 400 F for 25 minutes.

It's simple, it's inexpensive, and it smells wonderful while it's cooking! I bet this would be good with pork chops, too, although I haven't tried that yet.

Place the breaded chicken breasts in a skillet with the tablespoon of olive oil. Saute in oil for 3-4 minutes on each side (Or for a more healthy option, bake in 350 degree F oven for 10-12 minutes).

Pour a thin layer of pasta sauce (homemade or store bought) into a 9x13in dish. Add breaded breasts and another layer of sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake in 375 degree F oven for 5-10 minutes. While baking, prepare pasta (angel hair, spaghetti, etc) and set aside. Serve immediately with pasta. Enjoy!

Breaded Parmesan Chicken

Another chicken recipe that I have come up with to use in a pinch.

I take bread crumbs and mix them with Mrs. Dash flavorings. We really like the Herb and Garlic or Herb and Onion. Add a little garlic salt and the powdered Parmesan cheese. If you use real grated Parmesan, wait until last ten or fifteen minutes or it may burn.

I dredge chicken breasts in a bowl with beaten eggs, then toss in bread crumb mix and place in baking pan sprayed with non-stick spray. I cook about one hour on 350 degrees F.

While that cooks, I either make a white sauce with butter, flour and milk or use a canned alfredo sauce in a pinch. I then take one can of diced tomatoes and add to the sauce and cook to a thick sauce and let simmer, stirring frequently until chicken is done.

I then place the chicken on each plate and pour sauce over the chicken. Serve with your favorite steamed veggies. WONDERFUL with grilled zucchini.
