Our Favorite Way To Serve It Up
The best way to enjoy a classic recipe is to keep it simple. The chicken and cheese should be a gorgeous golden-brown hue when finished. See below for step-by-step instructions on how to cook our chicken parmesan to perfection.
Ingredients
- ½ jar (about 12 oz) Carbone Pasta Sauce of choice
- 8 oz Triumph of Cheese Mozzarella Ball
- 4 Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Cutlets
- ¼ c vegetable oil*
- Veggie steamer bag of choice
- Fresh basil*
Directions
Add the sauce to a medium saucepan and bring to a low simmer to warm through.
Cut mozzarella into slices about ¼-inch thick.
Stovetop: Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed sauté pan over medium heat 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.** While chicken is cooking, microwave the veggie steamer bag according to package directions. Caution: Steamer bag will be hot and may release steam when opened.
Place cooked chicken in a single layer in a shallow baking pan and top each cutlet with a spoonful of sauce. Top each cutlet with one or two slices of fresh mozzarella. 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 along with pasta if using and pour over remaining sauce. Top with fresh basil if desired and serve alongside salad and garlic knots, if using.
For Garlic Knots: (Ready to eat. Heating instructions follow, if desired.) Wrap garlic knots in foil and place in 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes until warmed through.
**Cook all meal components until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
