Aussie Pub Chicken Parma
Ingredients
- 2 cups leftover spaghetti sauce or marinara
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 pound chicken breast cut into 3 or 4 thin slices
- 1 egg beaten
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- ¾ cup parmesan cheese grated, divided
Instructions
- Using a small sauce pan, heat the spaghetti sauce to a light simmer.
- Beat an egg and put it into a small, shallow bowl.
- In a second shallow bowl mix the bread crumbs with ½ cup of the grated parmesan cheese.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Pre-heat your oven to 350 ºF.
- Dip a slice of chicken in the egg (cover thoroughly), then roll in in the breadcrumb-cheese mixture and put in into the frying pan. Repeat for the remaining chicken slices.
- Fry for 2 or 3 minutes, the flip the chicken and fry for another 2 or 3 minutes. The chicken should have crispy, brown sides.
- If you do not have an ovenproof frying pan, then transfer the chicken to a small roasting pan.
- Cover the chicken with the simmering spaghetti sauce. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of cheese on top. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the chicken is done and the cheese is a bit browned or bubbling.
- Serve with french fries (chips) and salad or veggie. Pop open an Aussie beer and enjoy.
Notes
I use leftover spaghetti sauce, you can use your favorite marinara instead. I also usually use a cast iron frying pan so I can toss it into the oven. You can fry the chicken in a normal pan and use a small roasting pan if you don't have an ovenproof frying pan.
