Chicken Parmesan

Ingredients

  • 4 Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Cutlets
  • ½ jar (about 12 oz) The Fresh Market Organic Pasta Sauce of choice
  • ¼ c vegetable oil
  • 8 oz Triumph of Cheese Mozzarella Ball or 4 oz shaved parmesan
  • Veggie Steamer Bag of choice
  • Fresh basil
  • Demi Baguette

Directions

Add the sauce to a medium saucepan and bring to a low simmer to warm through.

Stovetop: Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed sauté pan over medium until hot, 2-3 minutes. Carefully add the chicken cutlets and pan-fry on both sides until golden brown, 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through.** Cook the chicken in batches if necessary, adding more oil as needed, so as not to crowd the pan. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.

Air Fryer: Preheat to 400°F. Cook chicken cutlets for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until cooked through.**

Place cooked chicken in a single layer in a shallow baking pan and top each cutlet with a spoonful of sauce followed by an even layer of cheese. Reserve remaining sauce.

Preheat broiler to high with rack 6 inches from heating element. Broil chicken until cheese is golden brown and sauce begins to bubble, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from oven.

To Serve: Place chicken on plate and pour over remaining sauce. Top with fresh basil* if desired and serve with baguette and veggie steamer bag of choice.

For Demi Baguette: (Ready to eat. Heating instructions follow, if desired.) Place in 350°F oven directly on rack and heat for 5 minutes until bread is warmed through. For softer bread, sprinkle with a small amount of water and wrap in foil before placing in oven.

** Cook all meal components until internal temperature reaches 165 F.
