President (Jill) Biden's Chicken Parmesan Recipe

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Step 2

Make the marinara sauce: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, 3–5 minutes.

Step 4

Drain one can of tomatoes, discarding the liquid. Add the drained and full remaining can of tomatoes and salt.

Step 5

Using a wooden spoon or potato masher, break up the tomatoes.

Step 6

Then simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 7

Turn off the heat and remove the garlic cloves, and stir in the basil.

Step 8

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

While the sauce is simmering, make the chicken:

Step 10

Set out 2 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dishes.

Step 11

In one dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt. In the other dish, mix the bread crumbs with the Parmesan and mozzarella.

Step 12

Using one hand, coat the chicken in the egg mixture.

Step 13

Gently shake off the excess egg, then transfer to the bread crumb mixture.

Step 14

Use your other hand to coat the chicken evenly on both sides, pressing the breading to adhere.

Step 15

Set on a baking sheet and repeat with remaining chicken.

Step 16

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Set a baking sheet with a wire rack on top nearby. Add 1–2 pieces of chicken to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 17

Cook until golden brown on both sides, flipping once, about 5 minutes total.

Step 18

Transfer the cooked chicken on the wire rack to drain.

Step 19

Wipe out the skillet, add more olive oil as needed, and repeat with remaining chicken.

Step 20

Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish.

Step 21

Arrange half of the chicken in a single layer over the sauce and top with half of the mozzarella.

Step 22

Add another layer of sauce and top with the remaining chicken, followed by the remaining mozzarella.

Step 23

Finish with a layer of sauce and top with the Parmesan.

Step 24

Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 20–30 minutes.

Step 25

Remove the chicken Parmesan from the oven and let sit for a few minutes before serving.

Step 26

Top with freshly torn basil, and serve with cooked rigatoni, and hot Italian bread alongside.
