How to Make 20 Minute Chicken Parmesan
- Place chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs) between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap.
- Flatten each chicken breast to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- In a shallow dish, whisk 2 large eggs. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 1/2 cups Italian breadcrumbs with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Dip each chicken breast in the egg, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Spoon 1 1/2 cups of your favorite spaghetti sauce over each chicken breast.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley over the chicken.
- Cover and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
