This is delicious! Real comfort food. Emerils’ Skillet Parmesan Chicken is a favorite of mine. It’s nice to have a stove-top chicken Parmesan recipe.
These chicken breasts are fall-apart tender!
If you can, buy fresh mozzarella. You won’t believe the difference and it’s worth it. The texture isn’t rubbery like the typical mozzarella.

Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- more Parmesan cheese for sprinkling on top
- 4 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese if you can get it, the soft fresh kind is best, it melts sooooo creamy
- your favorite marinara sauce or store bought spaghetti sauce
Instructions
- Pound the chicken breasts between two slices of plastic wrap until about 1/4" thick. Season with salt and pepper.
- Dredge the chicken in flour and shake off excess. Dip in the egg milk mixture, then in breadcrumb Parmesan mixture.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a 12 1/2 inch cast iron skillet. Brown the chicken breasts over medium heat until golden on each side (about 2-3 min per side).
- Remove to a plate and keep warm.
- Add the marinara sauce to the skillet. Heat to boiling and simmer 10 minutes. Add the chicken breasts to the sauce and sprinkle Parmesan over them. Place a slice of mozzarella on each piece of chicken.
- Cover and simmer about 8- 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the chicken is tender.
- Serve with your favorite pasta- we like linguine.
Enjoy!
