Gordon Ramsay Parmesan Chicken recipe
Print Recipe

Gordon Ramsay’s Parmesan Chicken stands out because of its crispy, flavorful crust and juicy, tender chicken. Unlike traditional versions, his technique includes pounding the chicken for even cooking, using a Parmesan-panko crust for extra crunch, and finishing with a flavorful homemade tomato sauce.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (for frying)

For the Tomato Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

For Topping:

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken – Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even ½-inch thickness.
  2. Season the flour – In a shallow dish, mix the flour with salt and black pepper.
  3. Beat the eggs – In another bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
  4. Prepare the breadcrumb mixture – In a third bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and oregano.
  5. Coat the chicken – Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg, then press into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
  6. Pan-fry the chicken – Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Fry each chicken breast for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  7. Make the tomato sauce – In a saucepan, heat olive oil, then sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
  8. Assemble the dish – Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the fried chicken on a baking sheet, spoon tomato sauce over each piece, then top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  9. Bake until melted – Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Garnish and serve – Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve immediately.
