Hey there, foodies! Get ready to elevate your dinner game with this absolutely mouthwatering deep-fried chicken parmesan that’ll have your family thinking you secretly enrolled in culinary school! Trust me, as someone who’s experimented with countless recipes, this one’s a total game-changer.
Let me tell you, I’ve served this at multiple dinner parties, and every single time, my guests have practically begged for the recipe. And girl, who can blame them? That perfect golden-brown crust, the melty cheese, and that satisfying crunch when you cut into it… _chef’s kiss_
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 4 chicken breasts (pounded thin)
– 2 cups Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
– 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
– 2 eggs
– 1 cup flour
– Your favorite marinara sauce
– Fresh mozzarella slices
– Vegetable oil for frying
– Italian seasonings (because duh!)
Now, let’s get cooking!
1. Start by setting up your dredging station (fancy word for breading, am I right?). You’ll need three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan.
1. Season those chicken breasts with salt and pepper – don’t be shy with it! Nobody likes bland chicken, honey!
1. Here’s where the magic happens: dip each piece in flour, then egg, then that delicious breadcrumb mixture. Press it on good – we want that coating to stick!

1. Heat your oil in a large skillet until it’s shimmering (about 350°F if you’re fancy and have a thermometer).
1. Carefully place your chicken in the hot oil – listen for that satisfying sizzle! Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
1. Top with marinara sauce and mozzarella slices, then pop under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until that cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Y’all, the result is absolutely divine! Serve it over pasta or with a fresh salad (trying to be healthy-ish here, right?). The outside is perfectly crispy, while the inside stays juicy and tender. It’s literally better than what you’d get at most restaurants, and I’m not even exaggerating!
Pro tip: Make extra because leftovers are even better the next day – if they last that long! My husband usually demolishes any evidence of leftovers before I even get a chance, LOL!
