JILL BIDEN'S CHICKEN PARMESAN RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Make the marinara sauce: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, 3-5 minutes. Drain one can of tomatoes, discarding the liquid. Add the drained and full remaining can of tomatoes and salt. Using a wooden spoon or potato masher, break up the tomatoes. Then simmer for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove the garlic cloves, and stir in the basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• While the sauce is simmering, make the chicken: Set out 2 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dishes. In one dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt. In the other dish, mix the bread crumbs with the Parmesan and mozzarella. Using one hand, coat the chicken in the egg mixture. Gently shake off the excess egg, then transfer to the bread crumb mixture. Use your other hand to coat the chicken evenly on both sides, pressing the breading to adhere. Set on a baking sheet and repeat with remaining chicken.
• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Set a baking sheet with a wire rack on top nearby. Add 1-2 pieces of chicken to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until golden brown on both sides, flipping once, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the cooked chicken on the wire rack to drain. Wipe out the skillet, add more olive oil as needed, and repeat with remaining chicken.
• Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish. Arrange half of the chicken in a single layer over the sauce and top with half of the mozzarella. Add another layer of sauce and top with the remaining chicken, followed by the remaining mozzarella. Finish with a layer of sauce and top with the Parmesan.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 20-30 minutes.
• Remove the chicken Parmesan from the oven and let sit for a few minutes before serving. Top with freshly torn basil, if desired, and serve with rigatoni, salad, and Italian bread alongside.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.

DEBBIE'S CHICKEN PARMESAN

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts to about 1/4 inch thin between 2 pieces of plastic wrap (like Saran Wrap) and set aside.
• Put flour in a dish big enough to coat chicken cutlets.
• Mix the eggs and water together and put in a dish large enough to fit cutlets.
• Mix flour, parmesan cheese and garlic salt in a dish large enough to coat cutlets.
• Coat the chicken in flour on both sides and shake to remove excess flour.
• Dip the chicken in egg on both sides.
• Coat the chicken in bread crumbs on both sides and shake to remove excess.
• Set aside once all the cutlets are coated.
• Heat oil in pan on medium until hot enough and fry cutlets about 2 minutes on each side until browned, then put on paper towels to absorb the grease.
• Put cooked cutlets in a pan, top with tomatoe sauce then cheese mixture and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes until cheese has melted.
• NOTE: When I freeze the cutlets I like to freeze them without the sauce or cheese and add it when I thaw the cooked cutlets.

CHICKEN PARMESAN

Steps:

• For the fresh mozzarella: Prepare a bowl of salted warm water and a separate bowl of salted ice water. In the salted warm water, soften the mozzarella curd and pull and shape into a ball. Drop into the salted ice bath to cool. Set aside and pat dry. Slice and let dry on a paper-towel-lined plate.
• For the tomato sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds. Increase the heat to high and add the tomatoes and oregano if using. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Taste for seasoning (adding a pinch of sugar if needed) and stir in the basil.
• For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a baking rack over a baking sheet and set aside.
• Put the breadcrumbs, flour and beaten eggs in separate shallow dishes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle each chicken breast on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in the flour and tap off any excess, then dip in the egg wash and let the excess drip off. Finally, dredge in the breadcrumbs. Transfer the breasts to a baking sheet or large plate.
• Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large saute pan over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Cook 2 breasts at a time in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the breasts to the baking rack on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and oil. Place in the oven to cook further for a couple minutes, then remove and set aside.
• Change the oven setting to broil.
• For the arugula salad: Dress the arugula in a large bowl with the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper and toss together.
• Top each chicken breast with some tomato sauce and mozzarella slices. Broil until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese has melted, 1 to 3 minutes.
• Place some arugula salad on each plate next to a chicken piece. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan, chopped basil and parsley sprigs.
