Savor the extraordinary flavors of this freshly crafted Chicken Parmesan by Chef John. Delight in this succulent dish that features pan-fried chicken, finished off in the oven to achieve the perfect crust. Taste the essence of rich tomato sauce, melted cheese, and aromatic herbs—a true Italian-inspired masterpiece.
Collect all ingredients. Start by heating your oven to an inviting 450°F (230°C).
Position chicken breasts strategically between sheets of robust plastic. Give them a thorough pounding with the tenderizer until they're uniformly 1/2-inch thick.
Generously season with salt and pepper. Dust each breast with flour, ensuring an even spread on both sides.
Beat eggs lightly in a bowl. Mix bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese in a second bowl. Dip the floured chicken into the eggs, then coat with the bread crumb mixture. Let the coated chicken rest for about 10-15 minutes.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry the chicken until golden, about 2 minutes on each side.
Place fried chicken in a baking dish. Add 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce, then layer mozzarella, basil, provolone, and remaining Parmesan. Drizzle some olive oil on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the chicken is cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes. Use a thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
