With a little prep ahead, this Chicken Parmesan can be made in under 30 minutes and devoured much quicker than that.
Prepping ahead is easy:
- Chicken can be trimmed and pounded thin, then kept covered and refrigerated until ready to cook.
- Sauce can be put together, then refrigerated, covered until ready to rewarm.
- All cheeses can be grated or shredded ahead of time and kept refrigerated until ready to prepare.
With everything prepped all that’s left to do when ready to cook is to set up your dredging and frying stations:
- Two shallow dishes for coating chicken: one for beaten egg, another for the flour/parmesan
- A clean plate for the dredged chicken to patiently wait until ready to fry.
- Pan with oil for frying.
- Plate lined with paper towels to place chicken once fried.
- Meanwhile, the sauce can be warming, and the grated and shredded cheeses can wait chilling in the fridge until final assembly before serving.
