Steps:
- Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board lined with plastic wrap. Cover the chicken with another sheet of plastic wrap and using a meat hammer lightly pound the chicken breasts (see notes).
- Set up a breading station with flour seasoned with sea salt and black pepper, egg wash and Italian seasoned bread crumbs.
- Coat the chicken breasts with the seasoned flour. Then place in the egg wash and finally in the bread crumbs. Make sure you get a good coating of each ingredient on the chicken breasts, completely coating them.
- Heat a large saute pan on high heat and add about a half an inch of vegetable oil. Carefully place the breaded chicken cutlets into the oil using tongs. Add as many as you can into your pan without crowding them. Let them saute until they get a nice golden brown color. Using tongs turn them over and saute the other side until golden brown.
- Drain the fried chicken cutlets on baking racks over sheet pans (or baking sheets).
- Place the fried chicken cutlets in a baking dish. Top each cutlet with about ⅓ cup of spaghetti sauce, covering the chicken cutlet.
- Add two ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the marinara sauce.
- Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top of the mozzarella cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until the cheese is nicely melted.*make sure the fried chicken cutlet has reached a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees F
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately with your favorite pasta.

CHICKEN PARMESAN
Steps:
- For the sauce: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Put the sausages in a small baking pan and poke each a couple times with a fork. Roast until cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool and chop the sausages, reserve the pan drippings. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat, add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomato puree, 2 1/2 cups water, tomato paste, sugar and salt. Bring to a simmer, adjust to a low simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add the sausage and reserved drippings. Continue simmering until thickened, 20 to 25 minutes more. Stir in the basil. Keep warm.
- For the cutlets: Cut the bread into pieces and pulse batches in a food processer until fine breadcrumbs. Mix together the breadcrumbs, parsley and Parmesan in a shallow bowl. Beat the eggs with the salt and pepper in another shallow bowl. Put the flour in a third shallow bowl.
- Pound out the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or wax paper until just less than a 1/4-inch-thick. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper.
- Bread the chicken: Coat each breast in flour, shake off the excess. Then dip in the egg, letting excess drip off. Finely coat completely in the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.
- Coat the bottom of a large skillet in about a 1/4-inch layer of oil. Heat over medium. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the breaded chicken and fry until the cutlets are golden brown and completely cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Ladle half the tomato sauce in a baking dish, top with the chicken cutlets and cover with the remining sauce and sprinkle the cheese over top. Bake until the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes.
RESTAURANT STYLE CHICKEN PARMESAN
Another recipe from my days cooking at the Italian family restaurant when I was young. I must have made this dish 1000 times over a couple of years...but I haven't cooked it since. Decided to make it again yesterday for a dinner party and it went over very well. Use my 'Authentic Pasta Sauce' recipe if you want the full...

Steps:
- 1. Butterfly the chicken breasts so the pieces are reasonably consistent in thickness. Separate tenderloin if necessary.
- 2. Scramble the eggs in a bowl
- 3. Spread 1 cup of the breadcrumbs on a plate
- 4. Heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil in a sauce pan over medium-high heat
- 5. Dip a piece of chicken in the scrambled egg, allowing excess to drip off the meat
- 6. Roll the chicken in the breadcrumbs until all sides are covered
- 7. Add chicken breast to the pan and brown on both sides - about 1-2 mins per side. Note - chicken will not be fully cooked during this step - and that's fine :)!
- 8. Repeat steps 5-7 as often as necessary to cook all chicken pieces. This will depend on the size of your pan. Note that you should change out your olive oil after every 'pan full' of chicken and add breadcrumbs to your plate as needed.
- 9. Cover a baking sheet with foil and spread a thin layer of sauce on the foil
- 10. Arrange a single 'layer' of chicken on the baking sheet
- 11. Cover chicken evenly with sauce - you want enough coverage that the chicken won't dry out, but not so much that it is 'swimming' in sauce.
- 12. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly over chicken
- 13. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over chicken
- 14. Bake for 30 mins at 375. Serve with pasta side or on it's own - Makes a great sandwich too! Enjoy!!

CHICKEN PARMESAN
My version of chicken parmesan is a little different than what they do in the restaurants, with less sauce and a crispier crust.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2-inch. Season chicken thoroughly with salt and pepper.
- Beat eggs in a shallow bowl and set aside.
- Mix bread crumbs and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl, set aside.
- Place flour in a sifter or strainer; sprinkle over chicken breasts, evenly coating both sides.
- Dip flour coated chicken breast in beaten eggs. Transfer breast to breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs into both sides. Repeat for each breast. Set aside breaded chicken breasts for about 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 cup olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Cook chicken until golden, about 2 minutes on each side. The chicken will finish cooking in the oven.
- Place chicken in a baking dish and top each breast with about 1/3 cup of tomato sauce. Layer each chicken breast with equal amounts of mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, and provolone cheese. Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese on top and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is browned and bubbly, and chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

RESTAURANT STYLE CHICKEN PARMESAN
Steps:
- Pour enough of spaghetti sauce to coat bottom of 9x13 pan. Beat egg in large bowl. Mix panko, parmesan, basil & pepper in another bowl. If you must, add 1/2 tsp. salt, although I think the cheese adds enough saltiness. Heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil in fry pan. Dip chicken breasts in egg, then in panko mix, then fry until golden brown in olive oil - about 3 minutes per side.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place fried chicken breast on top of sauce in 9x13 pan. Place 1/4 cup shredded cheese on top of each chicken breast.
- Cook for 1/2 hr until cheese is browned and chicken is done on inside (cut through middle of one to check.) Serve with cooked spaghetti and remaining spaghetti sauce.

CHICKEN PARMESAN
Chef Tacinelli's version of this iconic dish is unforgettable. The extra-thin cutlet, coated with seasoned breadcrumbs and grated cheese, turns golden-crisp but stays juicy, thanks to a quick fry. A simple marinara gently infused with basil adds tangy brightness for a balanced, delectable dish our founder calls the best chicken Parm he's ever had.

Steps:
- Marinara Sauce: Trim root ends of the garlic cloves, then smash with the flat side of a knife. Peel off skins and set aside. In a 4-quart Dutch oven over high heat, add oil, followed by garlic. When the garlic begins to sizzle, add a pinch of salt. Stir and toast the garlic until deep golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Add red pepper flakes (optional, for heat), reduce temperature to low, and add tomatoes. Increase heat to medium, add two pinches of salt and two pinches of sugar, and bring sauce to a simmer, 10-12 minutes. When simmering, taste and adjust for seasoning. Turn off heat.In a large bowl, add two large sprigs of basil, then pour the sauce over the basil. Set aside to steep while making the chicken. (Makes 2 quarts. Once cool, remove and discard basil; store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4-5 days or in the freezer up to 3 months).
- Chicken: Place chicken breast on a flat surface lined with parchment paper. Carefully slice in half horizontally, into 2 equal pieces. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts to make a total of 8 cutlets.Place 1 chicken cutlet into a 1-gallon zip-top plastic bag. Use a small heavy-bottomed pan or meat mallet to pound the cutlet until it's ¼-inch thick. Remove cutlet, set aside, and repeat with remaining cutlets.
- Breading: In a large bowl, add seasoned breadcrumbs, both cheeses, granulated garlic, dried oregano, potato starch, 1 teaspoon salt, and 13 grinds of pepper. Toss to combine, then set aside. In another large bowl, add flour. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 6 grinds of pepper; mix to combine. In a third bowl, add 4 eggs and beat with a fork or whisk until combined. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 6 grinds of pepper.
- One by one, dredge chicken cutlets in flour, shaking off excess flour. (Don't worry if the pounding has left some holes in the chicken-they'll soon be covered by breading and cheese!) Dip dredged chicken in the beaten egg, then into the breading mixture, carefully pressing the breading into the chicken so it adheres. Set breaded chicken on a rack fitted over a baking sheet until ready to fry. (Note: Chicken can be prepared to this point several hours in advance. Store the breaded cutlets in the refrigerator in an even layer, covered with plastic wrap or foil.)
- Fry chicken: In a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add vegetable and olive oils. (There should be about ¼-inch of oil in the pan, so adjust amounts as needed.) Test the oil's temperature by adding a few drops of water: if the water sizzles right away, the oil is ready for frying. Gently lay the chicken into the oil away from you to avoid any splatters; the oil should reach a little more than halfway up the chicken. Let fry undisturbed for about 2 minutes. Use a spatula to check the underside of the cutlet for golden brown color. When it's ready to turn over, gently and carefully flip chicken away from you and cook the other side, about 2 more minutes. (Use a second spatula or spoon if necessary, but try to avoid using tongs, as they might tear the delicate crust.) Chicken is cooked all the way through when it's firm to the touch and both sides are golden brown. Drain fried cutlet on a baking sheet lined with paper towels, and sprinkle with salt while still hot. Repeat with remaining chicken cutlets, adding more oil as needed and keeping the temperature steady.
- Assembly: Preheat broiler. In a large bowl, combine the three cheeses. Place chicken cutlets on a baking sheet in an even layer. (Depending on oven size, you can do this in batches, or use several baking sheets.) Remove basil and garlic cloves from Marinara Sauce and discard. Spread each cutlet with ¼ cup of sauce, leaving the edges uncovered, then top with a generous ¼ cup of cheese mixture. Place in the oven on a rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Don't step away-you don't want the cheese to burn! Broil 1 minute, checking after 30 seconds, and remove when cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Garnish with freshly torn basil leaves and serve immediately.
