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!

JENN'S CHICKEN PARMESANO SUPREME

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, dip in the beaten egg, and then coat with the bread crumbs, assuring each piece is evenly coated.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in the hot oil until no longer pink inside, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pour half of the pasta sauce into a glass baking dish. Lay the chicken into the sauce; pour the remaining pasta sauce on top of the chicken pieces. Spread one tablespoon of Caesar dressing on each piece of chicken. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.

• Preheat your oven to 300°F.
• Toss the chicken breasts, two at a time, in the flour bag to coat evenly.

• Toss them, two at a time, in the bread crumb bag.

JENN'S CHICKEN PARMESAN

Steps:

• Set a big pot of water to boil for the pasta. Cook as directed.
• Put each chicken breast, one at a time, into a gallon-size zippie bag. Use a kitchen mallet or a heavy skillet to pound the chicken to about 1/2 inch thick. This is a great step for getting out frustrations.
• In a large bowl, beat together the egg and the water.
• Now, you want to have a station set up for this next part. A plate with flour, a plate with the egg and a plate with the breadcrumbs. With each chicken breast you need to coat each breast in this order: flour, egg wash then breadcrumbs.
• After each breast has been properly coated, set them on a plate to the side.
• In a medium skillet, saute diced onion in 1 Tbs olive oil until they turn opaque, about 4-5 minutes, then add the red pepper flake and the mushrooms and saute and additional 6-8 minutes. Then add the grape tomatoes to the skillet. Let them saute for a few minutes until they soften, then using your wooden spoon, crush each tomato. If it's too hard to crush, let it cook just a bit longer.
• Add salt and pepper to taste, and continue cooking until tomatoes are very soft and mixed with the rest of the veggies. Right at the end, add half of the chopped basil.
• You should be cooking the chicken at the same time that you are cooking the sauce. When you are waiting on the onions and/or mushrooms to cook, this is a good time to get the chicken going.
• Preheat 1 TBS olive oil in another large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Also, preheat your broiler.
• Cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes then flip and cook 3-4 additional minutes.
• After each breast is cooked in the skillet, place them on a baking sheet and top with some of the sauce, then top with a mixture of both cheeses. Place under the preheated broiler until cheese is melted and golden bubbly.
• While this is working, toss the cooked pasta with the remaining tomato mushroom sauce.
• Plate some pasta and a chicken breast on each plate and top with remaining freshly chopped basil.
