I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t like chicken parm, I mean, it’s a pretty delicious food, how could you not love it? Whether it be in chicken and pasta form or chicken sub form, the combination of breaded chicken, cheese, and tomato sauce is clearly a winner, so here’s a recipe so you can make it yourself.
Pound out some boneless, skinless chicken breasts so they’re pretty flat.
Then set up a battering station, egg in one bowl, and flour/seasoning mixture in another.
After you dredge the chicken in the egg and then the bread crumb mixture put it in a pan with some hot oil and let it cook.
Then flip it over and cook the other side.
Then cover it with cheese and put it in the oven.
Serve it up covered in tomato sauce (feel free to make your own, I was lazy and just warmed up a jar of sauce) with a side of spaghetti, or in a nice sub roll, whichever your heart desires!
