"Chicken is low in calories and high in protein as well as other nutrients. It's also satisfying, tasty, and one of the most versatile foundations for meals. Of all the different ways to cook chicken, the best usually involve cheese. While a classic, saucy, ooey-gooey chicken parmesan dish is a real treat, one could argue that a a lighter, parmesan-crusted chicken breast wins for everyday enjoyment."
"Parmesan-crusted chicken is delicious and easy to make once you nail one key step: getting the cheese coating to actually stick. If you've ever made parmesan-crusted chicken at home, you've likely been there; You perfected your coating mix and dredged the chicken breasts, but by the time they hit the pan, the soon-to-be golden crust you imagined comes out splotchy at best."
"For some help on how to do that, Tasting Table turned to an David Davidoc, recipe developer and creator of The Cooking Foodie. He said, "To get that parmesan crust to actually stay on, you've gotta make sure the chicken is bone-dry first, just pat it down with a bunch of paper towels. If it's even a little damp, the whole thing just slides off in the pan.""
Chicken is low in calories, high in protein and versatile for many meals. Parmesan-crusted chicken offers a lighter, everyday alternative to saucy chicken parmesan by adding a crisp, savory coating. Moisture on chicken prevents even adherence of the coating, causing splotchy crusts when cooking. Thoroughly drying breasts with paper towels removes surface moisture and improves adhesion. Use the traditional dredge sequence of flour, then egg, then the cheese mixture to anchor the coating. Choose finely grated, powdery parmesan instead of shredded cheese so the cheese blends with breading ingredients and adheres uniformly for a golden crust.
