Enthusiastic food lovers have put a modern twist on the traditional chicken parmesan, also known as chicken parmigiana, by reinventing its preparation method.
The classic dish typically consists of a breaded chicken breast topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Some variations include the addition of ham or bacon for extra flavor.
According to culinary experts on Reddit, there are simple hacks to enhance the dish. When a user inquired about the best way to cook chicken Parmesan with cheese on top, fellow food enthusiasts shared their tips for a quick and delicious preparation, as reported by the Express.
Their suggestions include seasoning a chicken breast with salt and pepper, coating it in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, frying it, then topping it with tomato sauce, Parmesan, and low-moisture mozzarella before briefly grilling it.
The high-heat grilling method crisps the chicken and browns the cheese quickly. To complement the dish, some recommend serving it with a salad for balance.
Another user shared a simpler method of preparing chicken Parmesan by using store-bought ingredients. They suggested using a pre-breaded chicken fillet, adding pasta sauce, sprinkling cheese, and baking it in the oven.
Additional techniques involving air fryers were also mentioned. By air frying boneless or skinless thighs coated in flour, egg, and panko breadcrumbs, enthusiasts achieve a crispy finish by adding sauce and mozzarella before a final round of air frying.
Some home cooks prefer oven-cooking chicken Parmesan, using a Shake-N-Bake style coating and following packet instructions, adding cheese towards the end for a perfect finish.
