I am always looking for a new, simple recipe that I think my family will fall in love with. I made this on Saturday night and I am telling you it is a keeper. We had it with mashed potatoes and gravy and broccoli with cheese. It was so good. I used just chicken breast, thawed. I found the recipe in March's Woman's Day Magazine that my ex-daughter-in-law gave me for Christmas. Love simple recipes.
- 2 tablespoon(s) olive oil, plus more for the baking sheet
- 1/2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cup(s) panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup(s) chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1/4 cup(s) grated Parmesan
- 2 tablespoon(s) grated Parmesan
- Kosher salt
- Pepper
- 8 small (about 1 1/4 pounds total) chicken cutlets
- 1 cup(s) marinara sauce
- 2 ounce(s) part-skim mozzarella, coarsely grated
- 1 teaspoon(s) lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) crushed red pepper
directions
- Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly oil a large rimmed baking sheet. Place the flour in a shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, beat together the egg and 1 tablespoon water. In a third bowl, combine the panko, parsley, 1/4 cup Parmesan, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Toss with 1 tablespoon oil.
- Dip the chicken in the flour, then the egg (letting any excess drip off), and finally in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere; transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Roast until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Heat the broiler. Spoon the marinara sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with the mozzarella and remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Broil until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes.
This sounds (and looks!) yummy. Since beef prices have become so ridiculous, we're eating lots more chicken. Love the reference to 'easy' as well! Wishing you a restful eve!
