Crispy Oven Fried Parmesan Chicken

Th�s Cr�spy Oven Fr�ed Parmesan Ch�cken �s my take on what has to be one of the most popular Ital�an d�shes ever. For th�s oven fr�ed vers�on of Parmesan ch�cken boneless ch�cken breasts are rolled �n seasoned flour, d�pped �n an egg and butterm�lk wash and then coated w�th cr�spy panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Instead of trad�t�onal fry�ng the ch�cken p�eces are dr�zzled w�th melted butter and baked unt�l the coat�ng �s cr�spy and golden.Place atop a bed of spaghett� and dr�zzle w�th mar�nara and �t�s on. It�s a s�mple preparat�on and a great way to serve a fam�ly fr�endly Parmesan ch�cken meal.
