Welcome back to our kitchen where we show you how to make delicious family
friendly recipes. My chicken parmesan or parmigiana is crispy baked chicken
nestled into a simple marinara sauce and topped with melted mozzarella cheese the
kids are gonna love it. I've got the oven preheated to 200 C or
400 F and we're gonna start with the marinara sauce. Add a tablespoon of olive
oil to a medium-sized pan over a medium heat add an onion that's been peeled and
diced and cooked for five to six minutes stirring often until softened.
Next in goes a minced clove of garlic and cook that for a further minute, now add in 400
grams or 14 ounces of passata, a teaspoon of dried oregano and a teaspoon of sugar.
Stir and bring to the boil then simmer gently for 10 minutes then turn off the heat.
Whilst the sauce is simmering we're going to prepare the chicken I've got
two large chicken breasts here which are enough to feed a family of four we're
going to slice them carefully through the middle so we end up with four thin
chicken fillets.
We're going to dust each of them with plain or all-purpose flour,
we need about three tablespoons all together, now add two eggs to a bowl and
give them a quick whisk in a second bowl. We're going to add a teaspoon of paprika,
quarter of a teaspoon of salt and pepper, forty grams or 1 point 4 ounces of
grated Parmesan and 2 tablespoons of olive oil 275 grams or 1 and a half cups
of panko breadcrumbs, stir together until the panko is evenly coated.
Now we're going to coat the chicken first in the egg and then in the panko
then place in a large baking dish. Place in the preheated oven for 10 minutes
until the bread crumbs are lightly browned. Now we're taking the chicken
out of the oven and we're just going to place it on a plate. Spread the base of
the dish with 3/4 of the marinara sauce then place the chicken back on top.
Top the chicken fillets with the remaining marinara sauce, I've got 125
grams or 4.4 ounces of mozzarella here now sliced quite thickly we're going to
place that on top of the chicken and then we're going to sprinkle on another
40 grams or 1 point 4 ounces of parmesan and a quarter of a teaspoon of dried
oregano.
Place in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken is golden and piping
hot throughout.
I'm serving mine with spaghetti and a sprinkling of fresh basil. There you go
that's my homemade chicken parmesan easier than you might think and a meal
the whole family can enjoy, don't forget to like and subscribe, see you next time!
