easy, tasty chicken parmigiana

"this is the easiest, tastiest chicken dish i have prepared for a long time. it is crunchy, tender and tasty all at once. i saw it on martha stewart one day and did my best to make it without writing down the recipe..i knew the basics and that it was easy. don't think she used jar sauce but do with what you have and like. *note: my first time making it i had to do 3 batches since the chicken halves were quite large so try to get 2 pans going and i am going to try to see if i can have the chicken coated and ready to fry instead of dipping each as i go. should cut down on prep and cook times."

  1. As Dizwendy said, it is time consuming and messy to prepare, but worth a try. This is the first dish I tried making all by my lonesome (I'm in college; my summer project is learning how to cook REAL food). I used chicken thighs because I had them already (tough but do-able). It turned out great! Awesome recipe!
     
  2. Yum! I used grated mozzarella instead of slices and folded some of the pasta sauce back over the top before serving. I though the crumb crust was just perfect - not too heavy and just wonderfully crispy.
     
  3. Excellent recipe! It was a little time consuming and messy to prepare, though. I have yet to find a quick, easy chicken parmigiana recipe. This one had a great flavor and stayed nice and crunchy in the broiler. Definitely a keeper for weekend meals or special occassions when I have extra time to cook and clean up.
     
  4. This was really good! I made these and put them in the freezer for later use. I made my own sauce and was looking for something else to use it for besides spaghetti. Thank you!

Hi there. I finally decided to give a little "how do ya do" about me. I am a new mum...well she's almost a year now and she is the love of my life. I love her a bunch. I love the zaar. My fave cookbook is probably Bakers Best Chocolate cookbook, uma casa portuguesa, and Pillsburys complete cookbook. I love all things caramel...so if you have something with it, post it.
