How do I store chicken parmesan?

You can store chicken parmesan in the fridge for 4-5 days. Make sure it is store in an airtight container. When you are ready to reheat, I like to add a little bit of sauce to make the chicken nice and moist. You can reheat in the microwave, oven, or an air fryer.

Should I pound the chicken breast before breading?

I recommend pounding out the chicken breast so it is equal in thickness when cooking. I have found that when you pound the chicken it is more tender too. Place the chicken in a Ziploc bag or wrap it in plastic before you begin to pound it out. You can use a meat tenderizer, rolling pin or even a hammer.

Instructions

For sauce, melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add onion and garlic, cook until tender. Add tomatoes, sugar, salt, and pepper and stir. Bring to boiling and reduce heat. Simmer about 10 minutes or until desired consistency, stirring occasionally. Stir in basil.
Meanwhile, using the flat side of a meat mallet, flatten chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap until about ¼ inch thick.
In a shallow bowl, stir together bread crumbs, 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese and oregano. In a second bowl, stir together egg and milk. Dip chicken into egg mixture; coat evenly with crumb mixture.
In a 12-inch skillet heat oil over medium heat. Cook chicken for 4 to 6 minutes or until golden, turning once.
Spoon sauce over chicken. Top with mozzarella and the remaining 1 tablespoon of Parmesan. Let stand 2 minutes. If desired, serve with hot cooked pasta.

Notes

Use a standard size chicken breast for this, about 6 ounces each. If you have really huge chicken breast consider cutting them down into smaller pieces for this recipe.
