Baked Chicken Parmigiana
Advertisement
Chicken Parmigiana is an American variation made from a old traditional recipe in southern Italy in Sicily. “Parmegiana†meant twice-cooked aubergine or eggplants. The Sicilians would dip slices of eggplant in a thin layer of beaten egg, bread and fry them, top them with slices of Parmesan cheese and home-made tomato sauce before finally baking them in the oven. Here juicy chicken breasts are replace for the eggplants to create this delicious restaurant style dish.

Instructions
- Start by cutting the breast into two lengthwise
- You will now be left with two pieces
- Next put one chicken breast piece between two sheets of cling film and beat with moderate pressure using a rolling pin or the back of a wooden spoon. Whack repeatedly till the meat flattens out to approx 1/6th of an inch.
- Now mix the black pepper powder, garlic powder, oregano flakes and salt and generously sprinkle onto both sides of the flattened meat. Gently rub in half the spices into the meat using a round motion with your fingers.
- Now prepare three dipping stations, one with a whisked egg, one with all purpose flour and one with a mixture of Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs.
- Dip the seasoned chicken in to the whisked egg,
- Next dip into the flour and dust off the excess,
- Now dip in the egg again,
- Finally dip in the bread crumb and Parmesan mixture.
- Lay the prepared chicken breast on a baking tray that has been lined with foil or baking parchment that has been well oiled. Refrigerate for 30 mins.
- Now brush 2 teaspoons oil on the top of each piece of chicken and bake in a 200 degree C, preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Once nicely golden brown, remove from the oven, apply a tablespoon of marinara sauce to each piece of chicken, top with grated cheese or cheese slices and bake for 5 more minutes.
- Serve atop a bed of Herbed Rice, or spaghetti or a simple lettuce and olive salad.
