Learn how to make Rooster Parmesan

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

Generously season both sides of the rooster cutlets with salt and pepper. Dip the items in flour, coating the skin. 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 both sides.

Place the rooster in a calmly 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. Prime with recent basil and serve.

Ideas & Substitutions

• For the breading, you need to use two eggs whisked collectively as an alternative of milk when you favor. I feel this makes the breading a bit of thicker, however it works effectively. An alternative choice is buttermilk rather than the milk, this merely provides a bit extra taste and tanginess.
• Bonus factors – add Parmesan to the breading! Use the powdery form and blend it in with the Italian bread crumbs.
• To verify your rooster is finished, use a meat thermometer and verify the thickest piece, it ought to attain 160°F.
• Heat further sauce to serve on the facet – this retains the rooster parmesan from getting soggy because it bakes.
• I like recent basil however you might additionally use recent parsley, rosemary or thyme. One other addition for a bit of 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 suppose rooster parm makes the very best 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 attempting to recreate the meal by rewarming.
