Ingredients Needed:

• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs, or more as needed
• ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or more if needed
• ½ cup olive oil for frying, or as needed
• ½ cup prepared tomato sauce
• ¼ cup fresh mozzarella, cut into small cubes
• ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
• ½ cup grated provolone cheese
• 2 teaspoons olive oil

How To Make Chicken Parmigiana Recipe?

1. Prepare the Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to ½-inch thickness using a meat mallet. Season with salt and pepper. Coat both sides with flour.
2. Bread the Chicken: Beat the eggs and set aside. Mix bread crumbs with 60g Parmesan. Dip chicken in eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Let rest for 10-15 minutes.
3. Fry the Chicken: Heat 120ml olive oil in a skillet. Fry chicken for 2 minutes on each side, until golden. It will cook through in the oven.
4. Assemble: Place chicken in a baking dish. Top with 30ml tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil, provolone, and remaining Parmesan. Drizzle with olive oil.
5. Bake: Bake at 230°C for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and chicken reaches 74°C.

Recipe Tips:

• Pound the Chicken Evenly: Make sure the chicken is pounded to a consistent ½-inch thickness for even cooking and a tender texture.
• Let the Chicken Rest After Breaded: Let the breaded chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before frying to help the coating stick better.
• Fry in Hot Oil: Heat the oil until it shimmers to get a golden, crispy crust on the chicken.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Fry the chicken in batches if necessary to ensure each piece cooks evenly and crisps up properly.
• Check Chicken Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches 74°C to ensure it’s fully cooked.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the chicken cool to room temperature, then store it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Wrap the chicken tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Preheat the air fryer to 175°C. Heat the chicken for 5-7 minutes.
