  1. this was really good and easy. I added the parmasean cheese to the bread crumbs before frying the chicken and used home made sauce. Thanks for a great dinner idea
     
  2. The chicken parmesan was very easy to make. I liked that it didn't require a lot of ingredients. I cooked my chicken steaks on the George Foreman grill which made it even faster.
     
  3. I love to cook and experiment with new recipes and this one was loved by each and every member of my family. It was easy to fix and taste delicious so we will definitely be enjoying it again.
     
  4. Good basic recipe but you can kick it up a notch. I find flouring the chicken first ,then egg coating, then Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, makes the breading stick better. Also you can add extra spices in the flour. My favs are garlic powder/salt and fine parmesan cheese. Doing this step in a zip lock bag allows you to press the flower into the meat. Same goes for the breading step. Also this allows you to add just enough flower or bread crumbs to coat without wasting a lot of either. Cleanup is quicker too. I find adding the cheese then baking 20 min makes it run off so I add it for the last 2-3 min which is just enough to melt it like the picture shows. Try Mozzarella instead of parmesan. Tastes great.
     
  5. Hubby LOVED this chicken... it browned up nice and retained it's crispiness after being baked.. no changes.. perfect as is! **update: have made this numerous times & love it.. made it with panko breadcrumbs because I was out of regular crumbs please note this did not work as well.. it fried up nice but did not retain the crispiness in the oven**

  1. Served it with spaghetti and garnished with a bit of fresh flavor for color and flavor!

  3. This was delicious and SO easy to make! I added parmesan cheese to the bread crumbs for added flavour. I also used my favourite marinara sauce instead of spaghetti sauce. Yum!!!
     
  4. I was a newbie to homemade chicken parmesan so I was a little nervous, but the steps were very easy to follow, and our meal turned out great! I subbed gluten free cracker crumbs for Italian bread crumbs and just added a little parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning to the plain crumbs for flavor. This was great Sunday night comfort food served with green beans. Delish! Thank you for posting!
