Crispy Parmesan Chicken Breasts

Substitute Eggs for Butter

Kirsten - March 6, 2007 02:00:38 PM PST

You can save more calories and fat by substituting one beaten egg (or egg beaters) for the butter. I've made breaded fish this way and it turned out delicious!

So moist!

PrettyPinkVespa - March 6, 2007 02:38:05 PM PST

I make this all the time. I use about 1/4 of a cup of olive oil. I add a chopped clove of garlic to the oil and microwave it so the garlic flavor is infused in the oil. Then I mix equal parts Italian bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. SO easy, SO tasty, SO moist and tender.

Simple and Fast!

This was a tasty way to serve up chicken! I had everything on hand to make it, the only thing I did differently, was that the last 10 minutes I broiled the tops so that it was a more golden color! I served pasta and fresh green beans. Perfect for my picky eaters!

This stuff rocks!

Love this recipe. I use half parmesan cheese, half bread crumbs.
Chicken is always so tender. Another option is to use canned fried onion rings (minced) for the breading. Excellent. Probably more calories, but still very yummy.

tweaked it a little, but very good

This chicken recipe is very easy to do. Instead of using butter on the chicken, I used EVOO (extra virgin olive oil). Instead of cooking the chicken for 20 minutes, I cooked them for 40 minutes. They were fully cooked after 40 min at 400 degrees. Low fat, low carbs, tasty and easy - I will make this again in the future.

Extremely easy, simple ingrediants. My husband is not a fan of white chicken meat and loved this dish. The leftovers reheated well and made a great ingresient cut up in a pasta side dish.

Molly F - July 23, 2007 03:18:59 PM PST

I made it with my mom. We had so much fun. This recipe is the greatest. Plus, if you wanted to, you could add noodles and spaghetti sauce to make it into chicken parmesan.

I love this recipe, however, instead of using the melted butter, I spray my chicken breasts with Pam and mix the bread crumbs and parmesean cheese in a ziplock bag with some basil, oregano and garlic powder. Then I shake the chicken breast in the bag to coat it.

Instead of Butter...

yp_jaye_pittsburgh_677 - July 23, 2007 11:47:01 AM PST

I substitute Kraft Mayonaise. Spread it very lightly on the chicken then coat with cheesy breadcrumbs. The mayo really allows the breading to stick and seals in the moisture of the chicken.

This also works when making oven fried fish or pork chops.

Some alternatives

Annetta - July 23, 2007 11:24:21 AM PST

I've tried this recipe before and when it was almost cooked I added a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese and a bit of spaghetti sauce and in a few moments have chicken parmesean. Serve with spaghetti and a salad and you'll think you were in an Italian restaurant.

Crispy parmesan Chicken Breasts

Samantha - March 6, 2007 03:32:55 PM PST

I have a recipe identical to this one however I coat my chicken breasts in mayonaise instead of butter.

Keeps the chicken moist and gives a good hold to the breading mixture! And yes, you can use low fat mayo - :)

My recommendation

vlct0ria - July 23, 2007 07:12:23 PM PST

I've made this exact recipe before, but here's my much tastier version:

Combine Italian-style bread crumbs, shredded parmesan, and a handful of pine nuts in a food processor and use that as the topping (dip chicken in an egg wash to make the coating stick). Then serve a nice basil pesto over top of it (homemade or store bought- I use store bought and it tastes great). Serve with these yummy potato wedges- ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!

Turned Around And It Was All Gone

cagrl - January 28, 2008 05:38:49 PM PST

This recipe turned out great. I've tried several different recepies over the past few weeks and this one was by far the favorite. I lightly seasoned my chicken with garlic powder, season salt and black pepper before breading it. I also added a bit of garlic powder and season salt to the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese mixture. I served it with rice pilaf and mixed veggies (corn, green beans

Sweetypie0829 - January 23, 2008 05:42:07 AM PST

I tried the recipe. However, I didn't have all the ingredients. So I substituted those. I added a bit of crushed peppers, minced onions and garlic powder. I used the plain bread crumbs as well. It was delicious!! My mom tasted it (she's a well established cook) and she absolutely loved it! A all the way!

Steve - January 21, 2008 07:22:25 PM PST

When I read this recipe, I recognized its similarity to an Adriatic Shrimp recipe my family makes. I liked this so much the first time, I made it again and the second was just as good. Very quick and easy even for the bachelor that doesn't have a stocked kitchen.
If your curious about making the shrimp, use the butter and breading for about 1/2 lb shrimp and broil. Add lemon juice to taste prior to serving.

Crispy Parmesan Chicken Breasts

ejw829 - January 21, 2008 02:30:44 PM PST

As other reviewers have mentioned, I choose to dip the chicken into egg whites instead of butter or oil. I've also used reduced-fat mayo on occasion (not exactly a calorie saver, I know) and it is REALLY good... Instead of regular bread crumbs try panko: Japanese-style breadcrumbs. Most major markets sell them now. They are really crunchy and I always get rave reviews when I use them for breading.

I just use one beaten egg instead of the butter. This is a great lite dinner.

this is a great recipe and takes NO time to do!! It really is an amazing dish. I used store bought bread crumbs and the exact recipe and it turned out soooo good. It looked, smelled and tasted better than what you get at most restaurants.

tasted pretty good

tipsy_toes - January 20, 2008 08:29:43 PM PST

Mine didnt turn out so 'crispy' but was definitely tender and parmesan-y. Will try it with other breadings - maybe adding a little dry ranch to the breadcrumbs.

One of our favorites

Aimee - January 18, 2008 05:32:43 PM PST

On of my girlfriends made this one night when we were still in college. It became an instant hit with all of us and we all still use this recipe regularly many years later. It is so easy and pairs well with everything. I've put it over salads, over pasta, with rice and couscous. If there are leftovers I make chicken parmigiana with it too.

add seasonings

Ro - January 16, 2008 12:02:29 PM PST

If you add some Italian seasoning to the parmesan cheese and bread crumbs mixture - it gives it a little boost.
If you brown the top - you can also add some left over pasta sauce after it has finished cooking for a different taste too. Just warm up the sauce in a saucepan and after you have taken the chicken and placed it on the platter - pour the pasta sauce over the half of the top. Or I have made a sauce with wine

We made these tonight and served them over spaghetti with garlic bread. I used the shredded parmesan cheese instead of the Kraft (because we were out) and it came out wonderful! Rave reviews from everyone at the table, even the 2 and 5 year old!
