Homemade Chicken Parmigiana

SUBMITTED BY: Jules203 PHOTO BY: Vicky Lynn

"I received this recipe several years ago from a family member who swore it was a great romantic meal. She was right. My husband asks me to make this meal every time we have a date night. The quantity of ingredients look intimidating, but don't let them fool you. It's easy and delicious! The whipping cream gives it a creamy texture that you just can't get enough of!"

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/3 cup minced onion
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 3 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic and onion, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 2 minutes. Pour in diced tomatoes and sugar. Increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, and continue simmering for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the sauce has simmered, stir in the cream and season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer for an additional 3 minutes. Lower heat and keep sauce warm
  2. Stir together bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, and dried oregano; set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and 2 tablespoons milk until blended. Dip chicken breasts into the egg, then press into breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides, shaking off excess.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook on both sides until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), and the bread crumb crust is golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  4. To serve, spoon sauce over chicken and top with Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Let stand a few minutes until the cheese has melted from the heat of the sauce.
