Baked Chicken parmesan, or chicken parmigiana (Italian: Pollo alla parmigiana), is a dish that consists of breaded chicken breast covered in tomato sauce and mozzarella, parmesan, or provolone cheese. It can also be made with meat, for instance, a quantity of ham or bacon is sometimes added.
Origin of chicken parmesan
The dish originated in the Italian diaspora in the United States during the early 20th century. It has been speculated that the dish is based on a combination of the Italian parmigiana di melanzane. For instance a dish using fried eggplant slices and tomato sauce, with a cotoletta, and a breaded veal cutlet generally served without sauce or cheese in Italy.
Chicken parmesan is included as the base of a number of different meals, including sandwiches and pies, and the meal is used as the subject of eating contests at some restaurants.
Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1 1/4 pounds
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 jar of your favorite pasta sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
To make this oven-baked chicken parmesan, start by heating the oven to 400 degrees. Dip the chicken in the egg, and then the breadcrumbs. In a 13 x 9 glass baking dish, bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Pour the pasta sauce over the chicken, and top with the cheese. Bake for 10 minutes more, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Use a thermometer to make sure it reaches the correct internal temperature. Enjoy!
