    Easy Chicken Parmigiana on plate

    You will love my homemade chicken schnitzel recipe that I use to make this Chicken Parmigiana. They are crispy with just the right amount of crunch and seasonings.

    Easy Chicken Parmigiana ingredients

    Ingredients

    • eggs
    • fresh chopped parsley
    • minced garlic
    • salt and pepper to season
    • panko breadcrumbs 
    • breadcrumbs
    • grated parmesan cheese
    • onion powder
    • chicken breasts
    • olive oil or vegetable oil for frying

    Topping

    • jar of spaghetti or marinara sauce

    • grated cheese

    See the recipe card below for quantities.

    Instructions

    Easy Chicken Parmigiana step 1

    Prepare the chicken breast by slicing them in half (butterflying) and slice in half again, creating 2 pieces. Bang the chicken out slightly using a rolling pin and glad wrap covering the chicken to make them thinner and an even thickness.

    Easy Chicken Parmigiana step 2

    Preheat the oven to 180°c and line a large baking tray with baking paper. In a large fry pan, add the oil (at least 2 cm deep) and heat to a medium high heat.

    Easy Chicken Parmigiana step 3

    Whisk together eggs, minced garlic, parsley, and salt and pepper in a shallow dish. In a separate dish, mix bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and onion powder together.

    Easy Chicken Parmigiana step 4

    Add the chicken into the egg mix, evenly coating each piece of chicken. Dip chicken into the breadcrumb mixture to evenly coat.

    Easy Chicken Parmigiana step 7

    Fry each piece of chicken in the oil until golden and crispy, (about 5 minutes each side).

    Easy Chicken Parmigiana step step 11

    Place the chicken on the baking tray and top each piece with about ¼ cup of sauce, sliced ham and sprinkle with the grated cheese.

    Easy Chicken Parmigiana step step 12

    Bake for 15 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and melted, and the chicken is completely cooked through.

    Easy Chicken Parmigiana step 13

    Top with fresh chopped parsley and serve with some hot chips and a side salad.

    Top Tip

    Serve with side salad and hot chips cooked in the air fryer!
