How to Make Barbecue Style Chicken Parmesan
- Dip 4 washed, boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) into 2 large eggs, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon of water.
- Roll each chicken breast in 2 cups of Italian-style breadcrumbs, ensuring they're fully coated.
- Brown chicken in a large skillet with 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Top each browned chicken breast with 2-3 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese (about 4 ounces total).
- Generously cover each chicken breast with ½ cup of your favorite sweet barbecue sauce.
- Cover the skillet and simmer for approximately 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
