Bobby Flay Chicken Parmesan

Bobby Flay Chicken Parmesan recipe

Chicken Parmesan, also known as Chicken Parmigiana, is a dish made with breaded chicken breasts that are fried until crispy and then layered with marinara sauce and cheese before baking. Bobby Flay’s version keeps the chicken moist, ensures the breading stays crunchy, and adds just the right amount of seasoning for a flavorful finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

  • 1 ½ cups breadcrumbs (panko or Italian-style)

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ cup olive oil, for frying

  • 2 cups marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought)

  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • ½ cup grated provolone cheese

  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  • Pound the chicken – Flatten chicken breasts to about ½-inch thickness using a meat mallet for even cooking.

  • Prepare the coating – Set up three bowls: flour with salt and pepper, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, garlic powder, and oregano.

  • Bread the chicken – Dredge each breast in flour, dip into eggs, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

  • Fry until golden – Heat olive oil in a large skillet and fry chicken cutlets until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate.

  • Assemble the dish – Place fried chicken in a baking dish, spoon marinara sauce over each piece, and top with mozzarella and provolone.

  • Bake to perfection – Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

  • Serve hot – Garnish with fresh basil and serve with pasta or salad.
