Golden, cheesy, over-the-top crispy chicken parmesan! Homemade San Marzano tomato sauce, easy fried cutlets, and molten bubbly cheese.
WOW GUYS this is a golden, cheesy, over-the-top crispy chicken parm, and it is so good!
This idea came into my life by way of Instagram – I found myself watching basically all the videos from Carbonara restaurant of their viral dish (chicken parmesan alla vodka) which is a saucy, bubbling skillet of mozzarella with vodka sauce that gets dramatically poured out over these huge crispy chicken cutlets.
And I was like, I need to try that. Pronto.
So I just did the full thing, right at home:
- Fried the chicken cutlets
- Made a quick little San Marzano tomato sauce
- Broiled that cheesy pan
- Poured it in very dramatic fashion over the top of the chicken.
Just IMAGINE IT. It’s crispy, molten cheesy, saucy… so incredibly good. Now imagine it with garlic bread and salad all together on the plate.
I used DeLallo San Marzano Style Crushed Tomatoes for the sauce and the whole thing was shockingly good. It’s so simple, but the quality of the tomatoes, the oil, shallots, salt? It’s sweet and salty and just sharp enough to be interesting, and I was just eating it straight.
We are in the middle of a kitchen remodel and I’ve already decided, this will be one of my first (if not THE first) meals I make in the new kitchen.
