Pino Luongo And Mark Strausmans Chicken Parmigiana Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place each chicken breast half between two sheets of plastic wrap on a cutting board. Using the flat side of a meat mallet or the back of a skillet, pound chicken breasts until they are 3/8 inch thick.
• Remove chicken from plastic wrap and set on a large plate; season with salt and pepper. Place flour and matzo each in separate large, shallow dishes. Beat together eggs and Parmigiano-Reggiano in another large shallow dish. Coat each chicken breast half evenly with flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip in egg and cheese mixture, followed by matzo to coat.
• Heat oil in a deep large skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is very hot, reduce heat to medium and, working in batches, add chicken. Cook chicken, turning once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat process with remaining chicken, allowing oil to reheat between batches.
• Transfer chicken to a rimmed baking sheet. Top each breast with 1/2 cup tomato sauce and cover with mozzarella. Transfer baking sheet to oven and cook until cheese is melted and sizzling, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Transfer chicken to broiler and broil until cheese is bubbling, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler with rack set 4 inches away from the heat source. Combine the breadcrumbs and the Parmesan cheese in a shallow dish. Place the egg in a second shallow dish. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Dip chicken in egg, turning to coat. Transfer to breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat; set aside.
• Pour spaghetti sauce into a 10-by-15-inch baking dish, or a rimmed baking sheet. In a large nonstick skillet, heat half of the oil over medium heat. Add half of the chicken, and cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain, then place in prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining oil and chicken.
• Top each piece of chicken with a slice of mozzarella. Broil until sauce is hot, and mozzarella is melted and lightly browned in spots, 5 to 8 minutes.

Steps:

• Beat egg in a shallow dish. Mix crushed matzos, salt, and pepper in another shallow dish. Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a large cast-iron skillet until it registers 375 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer.
• Working with 1 at a time, dip cutlets into egg, then into matzo, pressing to adhere and coating both sides. Place 2 cutlets in skillet, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels. Repeat with remaining 2 cutlets. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
