Chicken Parmigiana
Chicken Parmigiana, also known as "Chicken Parma" or "Chicken Parmi" in local slang, is a popular pub-style dish in Australia. It has its own unique twist compared to the traditional Italian-American version. In Australia, a typical Chicken Parmigiana consists of a breaded and fried chicken schnitzel topped with tomato sauce, melted cheese (such as mozzarella or tasty cheese), and sometimes even a slice of ham. It's commonly served with a side of crispy chips (fries) and a fresh salad.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts skinless, boneless
- 1 cup bread crumbs (you can use panko or regular breadcrumbs)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, coating it evenly on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a baking dish.
- Spoon tomato sauce over each chicken breast, covering them evenly.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the sauce.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the Chicken Parmigiana with your choice of side dishes such as pasta, salad, or garlic bread.
