Chicken Parmigiana is an American variation made from an old traditional recipe in southern Italy in Sicily. “Parmegiana” meant twice-cooked aubergine or eggplants. The Sicilians would dip slices of eggplant in a thin layer of beaten egg, bread and fry them, top them with slices of Parmesan cheese and home-made tomato sauce before finally baking them in the oven. Here juicy chicken breasts replace the eggplant to create this delicious dish which you can enjoy at home.

Step 1 :
Start by cutting the breast into two, lengthwise pieces
Step 2 :
Next, put one chicken breast piece between two sheets of cling film and beat with moderate pressure using a rolling pin or the back of a wooden spoon. Whack repeatedly till the meat flattens out to approx. 1/6th of an inch.
Step 3 :
Now mix the black pepper powder, garlic powder, oregano flakes and salt and generously sprinkle onto both sides of the flattened meat.
Step 4 :
Gently rub in half the spices into the meat using a round motion with your fingers.
Step 5 :
Now prepare three dipping stations, one with a whisked egg, one with all-purpose flour (maida) and one with a mixture of Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs.
Step 6 :
Dip the seasoned chicken in to the whisked egg.
Step 7 :
Next dip into the flour and dust off the excess.
Step 8 :
Now dip in the egg again.
Step 9 :
Finally dip in the bread crumb and Parmesan mixture.
Step 10 :
Lay the prepared chicken breast on a baking tray that has been lined with foil or baking parchment that has been greased well.
Step 11 :
Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 12 :
Now brush 2 teaspoons oil on the top of each piece of chicken and bake in a 200 degree Celcius, preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Once nicely golden brown, remove from the oven, apply a tablespoon of marinara sauce to each piece of chicken, top with grated cheese or cheese slices and bake for 5 more minutes.
