Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- Place the flour in a shallow dish.
- In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- In a third shallow dish, place the bread crumbs.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- Dip the floured chicken breasts into the egg mixture, making sure they are well-coated.
- Finally, press the chicken breasts into the bread crumbs, evenly coating both sides.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray oil.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the breading is golden brown and the chicken is almost cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit.
- Scoop out the flesh and slice it thinly. Set aside.
- Once the chicken is cooked, transfer the breasts to a baking dish.
- Top each chicken breast with an equal amount of pasta sauce.
- Arrange the avocado slices on top of the sauce.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the avocado slices.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- Remove from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the Avocado Chicken Parmigiana hot, with your favorite side dishes such as pasta, salad, or garlic bread.
Tips:
- For even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an equal thickness before breading.
- To make the dish gluten-free, replace the all-purpose flour and bread crumbs with their gluten-free alternatives.
- Use ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure.
- For a healthier option, bake the chicken in the oven instead of frying. Place the breaded chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spray lightly with cooking spray, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
- Customize the pasta sauce by adding your favorite herbs and spices, such as basil, oregano, or garlic, for extra flavor.
- Let the cooked chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing to help keep it juicy.
