spicy chicken parmesan

An easy chicken dinner the whole family will love, perfect for weeknight. You can serve it with pasta or my baked potatoes. To keep it light serve it with a salad.

Spicy Chicken Parmigiana is gluten, dairy and egg free. It is coated with gluten free flour and breadcrumbs and fried crisp. Topped with homemade spicy tomato sauce and dairy free mozzarella cheese.


Preparing the Chicken


    You can prepare the chicken two ways

  • 🍗 Pound the chicken thin by wrapping it in a plastic and using a rolling pin or meat tenderizer.
  • 🍗 Layout the chicken on a chopping board and cut it horizontal in the middle.


Gluten Free Coating


    The gluten free breading is made up of two different flours.

  • 🍗 Gluten Free All Purpose Flour: you can also use a single flour such as rice flour instead of a flour blend.
  • 🍗 Gluten Free Breadcrumbs: I used Cornflakes Breadcrumbs but you can use store bought if you cannot find the gluten free breadcrumbs, they can be made at home from the gluten free bread.


Flavour


    The gluten free breading is mixed with different seasonings.

  • 🍗 Chicken: Marinated with salt, black pepper, red chili powder (to make it spicy) and garlic.
  • 🍗 Gluten Free Breadcrumbs: Add the shredded vegan cheese, I have yet to find a vegan parmesan where I live so I use cheddar.
  • 🍗 All Purpose Flour: Season with salt, black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder.


The Sauce

I used the homemade spicy tomato sauce that I posted earlier. You can use store bought pasta, marinara or tomato sauce.

Cook Notes

  • Chicken Breast: either pound them thin or slice them in half horizontally
  • Bread Crumbs: Use store bought (I used Cornflakes breadcrumbs, not sponsored) or homemade
  • Frying: Do not worry about fully cooking the chicken as we will be further cooking it in the oven. Just fry until golden brown.
