Chicken Parmigiana and creamy mash is a delightful and comforting dish that combines crispy, breaded chicken topped with melted mozzarella cheese and a rich tomato sauce, served alongside a smooth and creamy mashed potato. This recipe is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a special meal with friends.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Drain the boiled potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add in the butter and light sour cream.
- Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Keep warm until ready to serve.
- Slice the chicken breasts horizontally into thinner cutlets if they are thick.
- Dip each chicken piece first into the flour, shaking off the excess.
- Next, dip the chicken into the beaten eggs, making sure it's well-coated.
- Finally, coat the chicken with the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat a large skillet with some oil over medium heat.
- Cook the breaded chicken pieces in the skillet until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the browned chicken pieces to a baking dish.
- Pour the canned tomatoes into the skillet used for the chicken and bring to a simmer.
- Season the tomato sauce with salt and pepper as needed.
- Pour the tomato sauce over the browned chicken pieces in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Tips:
- To ensure ultra-smooth mashed potatoes, use a potato ricer or sieve to break down the potatoes before mixing with butter and sour cream.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly and stay tender.
- Press the breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the chicken to ensure a crispy coating.
- Let the breaded chicken rest for a few minutes before frying to help the coating adhere better.
- Pre-warm the tomato sauce to reduce the baking time and ensure it's evenly heated when serving.
- For a healthier option, use whole-wheat breadcrumbs and low-fat cheese.
Enjoy the wonderful combination of textures and flavors in this Chicken Parmigiana and creamy mash. The crispy chicken, gooey cheese, tangy tomato sauce, and luscious mashed potatoes make for a truly satisfying meal.
