Hello– This was dinner tonight and I’m definitely adding this recipe to my chicken dinner rotation. So quick & easy and it turned out tender and so savory good. To keep it light, we just added a big bright salad and some chunks of sturdy bread. Super summer supper.
EASY CHICKEN PARMESAN
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup flour
1 egg
3/4 bread crumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
2 tab. olive oil
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup fresh mozzarella, broken to bits
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 tsp. dried basil
garnish: fresh basil or marjoram*
Slice the chicken breast horizontally to form two flatter chicken filets.
Take 3 flat bowls. In the first put the flour. I the second put the egg, well beaten. And in the third the bread crumbs and parmesan, mixed together.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Then dredge the chicken filets first in the flour, next in the egg and lastly in the crumb-parmesan mixture. Lay the chicken in the hot skillet and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side until nicely browned and cooked through.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet or baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Top with with the mozzarella and set under the hot broiler for just a minute or two until the cheese is well melted.
Take if from the oven and top with a mixture of the tomato sauce and dried basil. Garnish with fresh basil or marjoram and serve it up hot.
*I used marjoram because it grows like a weed in the side yard.
Rhonda, this used to be my go-to meal, but I haven’t made it in forever! Partially because I don’t eat meat, but my husband does so I will have to try your recipe! YUM!
Hi Mackenzie! You’re such a good wife to cook two ways! This is so quick & easy–I think he would like it. And– loved your posts on your travels back to Ohio!! So good good to be with family & old friends! I thought your Ohio/SF comparisons were spot on! xo
Hehe- sometimes he puts up with my veggie based dishes too 😉 Thank you soo much for reading. Your comments brought such a smile to my face 🙂
Rhonda, this sounds delicious and I’m adding it to my chicken rotation also. I love the dinner plate too!

Hope you like it Kreso!! We watched the Croatia game– so sad they lost– but what an amazing job they did over all!!!
They really did, nevertheless it was a great world cup, and we are so happy for the 2nd place, it was a historical event over here in Croatia 😀
Congrats!!
This looks absolutely delicious!! 😘😊💗
Hey Lisa! thanks! We liked it– even as leftovers. How was your weekend?? Did you get to kick back? xox
Oh, I like your method of slicing the breasts in two instead of pounding them (my least favorite job). I will have to try that. -Kat
HI Kat-where or where are You? Been missing your posts. Are you in the middle of a crazy summer– or taking a hiatus for a bit?? Miss your great ideas and fun humor. hugs!
Yup, just taking a lil break – Kat
MIssing you Kat–Hope your summer is rolling along well… hugs.
Simply scrumptious!! I love that this is kind of “deconstructed” and that chicken will be all crispy, even if leftover. Great recipe. I’m a little jealous of your marjoram = one of my fave herbs. My lone plant is about three inches across now and about 4 inches high!
My kids will love this! Easy + chicken parm, you got my attention.
I hope they do! Good easy weeknight meal. xo
I really like your preparation. Too many people smother the chicken in a thick layer of cheese…yours is just the way I like it. 🙂
Gosh thanks Karen! You have a trip on the horizon?? I never know where you’ll go next! xox
We do, something that we’ve never done before.
Chicken and I still aren’t friends yet, but this still looks good:)
Looks amazing! This is definitely a family favorite! 😍😋
