A Recipe by Chef Walter Staib
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pound Dietz and Watson Chicken parmesan, sliced into four pieces (6 ounces per serving)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 cups Italian style breadcrumbs
- Olive oil for frying
- 1 pound Dietz and Watson mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- 8 ounces pasta, cooked according to package directions
- 8 ounces tomato or marina sauce
- 1 bunch fresh basil
How To Make
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Pour flour into a shallow pan, and pour breadcrumbs into a separate shallow pan.
- To bread the chicken cutlets, dredge chicken parmesan pieces into flour mixture, coating thoroughly on boat sides. Shake off excess flour.
- Dip chicken pieces in egg wash, making sure each piece is coated.
- Place chicken pieces in shallow pan with breadcrumbs and pat into breadcrumbs on both sides to cover.
- Heat oil in a large pan to 350 degrees. Fry chicken pieces until breading turns golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
- Remove and let drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Put chicken pieces on a baking sheet, layer slices of tomato and fresh basil leaves on top, drizzle with a little marina sauce and top with cheese. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until cheese melts.
- Serve with pasta and more sauce, if desired. Garnish with basil.
