In this video, you’ll learn how to make chicken parmesan. Unlike many restaurant preparations, Chef John’s method doesn’t overwhelm the chicken with sauce and cheese. You’ll see how to prepare the boneless chicken breasts and learn Chef John’s trick of seasoning the chicken directly (instead of the bread crumbs). You’ll get breading and saucing tips to ensure your chicken has a delicious, crisp coating. You’ll see an ingenious technique for “dredging” the chicken with flour and learn why it’s best to let the breaded chicken sit for a bit before frying. You’ll see how to fry the chicken just to golden brown before transferring it to a baking pan and adding sauce (but not too much!), cheese, and herbs. Then bake until beautiful, for a delicious meal that seems fancy but is actually pretty easy to make. Get top-rated chicken parmesan recipes.

The only thing about this recipe that isn't too authentic is that it should be covered completely in sauce and then a layer of cheese then baked. With this tiny amount of sauce it would be so dry!

I made this tonight. Did the flour/bread crumbs in the wrong order. Used italian instad of panko. Used mozz and sharp vermont white cheddar (not much of each ). Forgot the hot pepper flakes bet that would have been yummy! Bottom line! With all my goof ups it was a great dish and I can't wait to try it again.
