Hey there, foodies! Get ready to experience a mind-blowing deep-fried chicken parmesan that’ll make your taste buds dance and your family beg for seconds! Trust me, I’ve made this countless times, and it’s always a showstopper at my dinner parties. 🍗✨
Let me tell you, this isn’t your ordinary chicken parm – we’re taking it to the next level with a secret ingredient that’ll make it extra crispy and flavorful (spoiler alert: it’s crushed garlic-flavored croutons!).
What you’ll need:
– 4 chicken breasts (pounded thin)
– 2 cups crushed garlic croutons
– 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
– 2 eggs
– 1 cup flour
– 1 cup marinara sauce
– Fresh mozzarella slices
– Fresh basil
– Oil for frying
– Salt and pepper to taste
Okay, queens and kings, let’s get cooking! 👩🍳
1. Start by setting up your dredging station – flour, beaten eggs, and your magical mixture of crushed croutons, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan. Girl, this is where the magic happens!
1. Season your chicken with salt and pepper, then dip each piece in flour, egg, and finally that crunchy coating. Press it on good – we want that crunch!
1. Heat your oil to 350°F (honey, if you drop a breadcrumb and it sizzles, you’re good to go!)
1. Fry each piece for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Don’t overcrowd the pan – nobody likes a crowd, am I right? 😉

1. Top each piece with marinara sauce and a generous slice of fresh mozzarella.
1. Pop it under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until that cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
1. Finish with fresh basil leaves and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan because, let’s be honest, there’s no such thing as too much cheese! 🧀
The result? A perfectly crispy exterior with juicy chicken inside, topped with melty cheese and savory marinara. It’s basically heaven on a plate, and I won’t judge if you lick it clean!
Pro tip: Serve this bad boy with some garlic bread and a side salad to feel a little less guilty about all that deep-fried goodness. 😘
