Lighter Chicken Parmesan
Ingredients
×
Method
- 1
Set up your dredging station: Bowl 1: whisked eggs; Bowl 2: panko, Parmesan, Italian herbs, seasonings.
- 2
Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg, then coat fully in the panko-Parmesan mixture. Set aside.
- 3
Heat 1–2 inches of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. When hot, fry chicken 3.5–4.5 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
- 4
Let cutlets cool slightly while you preheat the oven to 350°F.
- 5
Top each piece with marinara, a sprinkle of Parmesan, and a thick slice of mozzarella. Bake 20–25 minutes, depending on thickness.
- 6
Serve warm. I love it with a simple arugula salad for a lighter, balanced meal — but pasta, rice, or roasted veggies are all perfect too.
