Easy Skillet Chicken Parmesan for Two.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Servings: 2 people
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Large Chicken Breast split in half to create 2 chicken pieces
  • 1/2 cup Sunflower Oil or any oil with a high smoke point
  • 1 cup Panko or Traditional Bread Crumbs
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup Pasta Sauce of your choice plus a little extra for pasta
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or 4 oz of sliced fresh mozzarella
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • Fresh Basil or Parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Butterfly chicken breast and then cut in half to create 2 chicken pieces. Place chicken between plastic wrap and pound out chicken to create even 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces.
  2. Season chicken with salt & pepper and Italian seasoning on both sides.
  3. On a large plate mix breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese
  4. Heat a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add oil to pan and allow to get hot. (I would not use EVOO here due to it will burn and create a bitter taste on the chicken)
  5. While oil is getting hot, brush Mayonnaise on both sides of chicken and then coat in the bread crumb mixture.
  6. Add chicken into hot pan and cook 3-4 minutes, undisturbed, until golden brown and then flip chicken.
  7. Add a 1/4 cup of pasta sauce on top of chicken and then layer mozzarella cheese on top.
  8. Cover to allow for cheese to melt and for the chicken to finish cooking
  9. Place over a large serving of pasta (add additional pasta sauce on top of pasta if necessary) Top with basil or parsley if desired. Enjoy!
