Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan on medium high heat.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, sugar, a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Continue to simmer until sauce thickens a bit and flavors meld, about 10-12 minutes. Taste sauce, adjust seasoning if necessary, cover and keep warm.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with foil, parchment, or Silpat. While the sauce is simmering, prepare the chicken in the next steps.
Make the coating: In a large bowl whisk together the mustard, vinegar, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
Add the chicken cutlets to the mixture and coat well on both sides.
Dredge the chicken: In another bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Mix well and stir in the melted butter.
Transfer to a shallow plate.
Dredge the chicken pieces in the breadcrumb mixture, gently pressing the breadcrumbs into the chicken cutlets.
Place dredged chicken on the lined baking sheet.
Bake at 450°F on the center rack of the oven until cooked and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Serve with a side of rice, noodles or pasta. Ladle sauce with the chicken.
Recommended wine: Barbera Wine, Chianti, Montepulciano
Barbera Wine, Chianti, and Montepulciano are my top picks for Chicken Parmesan. When chicken is paired with tomato sauce and cheese, it can handle a light or medium bodied red wine. Since this is an Italian-American dish, we went for Italian wines. You could try Enrico Serafino Barbera d'Alba. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.
Enrico Serafino Barbera d'Alba
Enrico Serafino Barbera d'Alba is the winery's leading red, a very versatile wine that is particularly food-friendly and can be enjoyed on a daily basis. Barbera is Piedmont's most popular red grapevariety, grown in and among other vineyards throughout the region. Enrico Serafino's vineyards are located inside Roero DOCG, a famous denomination for Nebbiolo (and white Arneis) wines. These Barbera vineyards enjoy the same excellent terroir, in sites that are best suited for Barbera.
