Sam's Place: Italian chicken Parmesan recipes

This Italian chicken parmesan dish is a perfect family pleaser, and easy to make. I can't take credit for making this one. This stuffed chicken parmesan recipe is a creation of my son Sammy.

Sammy is an excellent cook, and he should be, as he has a culinary degree. He is always making some amazing and delicious creations. His stuffed chicken parmesan is no exception to amazing and delicious, made with all fresh ingredients, mozzarella, basil, and prosciutto.

The ingredients and instructions for this delicious dish are below:

First Sammy cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise.

He set up a breading station using beaten eggs, flour, and breadcrumbs and fried them on both sides.

I would have used my Cast Iron Skillet for this.

He spread some sauce in the bottom of a baking pan. Then he placed one-half of each chicken breast in the pan and layered it with prosciutto, mozzarella, and basil.

You can use your favorite sauce in a jar or try my Quick Marinara sauce here.

Sammy then placed the second half of the chicken breast on top.

Again he layered the fresh mozzarella and basil on top, bake this according to the instructions below.
