How you can make Rooster Parmesan

First, lower the rooster breasts in half, lengthwise. Whereas some folks prefer to pound the rooster with a meat mallet or rolling pin to skinny it I merely lower the items in half.

Generously season all sides of the rooster cutlets with salt and pepper. Dip the items in flour, coating the surface. Then dip in milk. Then dip in Italian bread crumbs. I’ll use a shallow bowl, pie pan, or plates with a lip to do that in.

In a big saucepan or skillet, add sufficient oil to pan fry (about 1/2 inch or extra). Over medium-high warmth prepare dinner the breaded rooster for 2 minutes on all sides.

Place the rooster in a frivolously oiled baking dish or baking sheet and prime with tomato sauce, grated Parmesan cheese and mozzarella. Bake within the oven at 450°F for 10-12 minutes. The cheese must be melty and the rooster golden brown. High with recent basil and serve.

Ideas & Substitutions

• For the breading, you should utilize two eggs whisked collectively as an alternative of milk when you favor. I feel this makes the breading slightly thicker, however it works properly. An alternative choice is buttermilk instead of the milk, this merely provides a bit extra taste and tanginess.
• Bonus factors – add Parmesan to the breading! Use the powdery sort and blend it in with the Italian bread crumbs.
• To test your rooster is finished, use a meat thermometer and test the thickest piece, it ought to attain 160°F.
• Heat additional sauce to serve on the aspect – this retains the rooster parmesan from getting soggy because it bakes.
• I like recent basil however you may additionally use recent parsley, rosemary or thyme. One other addition for slightly warmth is to sprinkle on some crimson pepper flakes.
• You possibly can retailer any leftovers in an hermetic container fin the fridge for a pair days. I don’t assume rooster parm makes the perfect leftovers IMO. So, if we do have leftovers, what I do is chop it up into small items to toss in with pasta or over a salad. I really feel this works higher than making an attempt to recreate the meal by rewarming.
