Chicken Parmigiana Recipe

So you want a real skill tester? Here’s the recipe for one of our favourite chicken parma’s courtesy of Peter O’Loughlin, manager, Keepers Arms North Melbourne.

1. 1 Start with a 400g good quality chicken breast that's thick and juicy
2. 2 Crumb with tasty Japanese bread crumbs
3. 3 Grill (definitely don't fry) for 14 minutes on a hot plate
4. 4 Top with homemade Napoli sauce, Virginian ham and mozzarella cheese
5. 5 Serve with seasoned chips, fresh garden salad and homemade vinaigrette

Don’t forget, the quality of your chicken parmigiana will be largely dictated by the quality of the ingredients you use. A pre-crumbed heart shaped schnitzel isn’t going to cut it.
