This classic chicken parmesan starts with crispy breaded cutlets and finishes in a bubbling skillet of tomato sauce, topped with melty mozzarella and fresh basil. Simple, cozy, and meant to be shared on a slow Sunday night.
Set up your breading station. In a shallow bowl add eggs with 2 tbsp water and mix to combine. In a second shallow bowl add bread crumbs and grated parmesan. Set aside.
Season chicken cutlets with salt, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
Dip each cutlet into egg mixture, coating each side, then dipping into bread crumbs, coating each side.
In a cast iron skillet heat 2-3 tbsp oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook on each side for 5 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
Remove chicken from the skillet and add in minced garlic. Cooking until fragrant. Pour Classico Tomato and Basil Sauce into the skillet before nestling the chicken cutlets back into the sauce.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and bake in oven for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Remove from oven, top with fresh basil and serve with crusty bread.
