How to make Chicken Parm with Roast Vegetables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All the elements of this recipe are very easy to make. The only kicker, however, is if you are preparing everything from scratch (including the Chicken Parm) it\u2019s going to take a little while. I\u2019d suggest allowing about 1 \u00bd hours all up to ensure you\u2019ve got more than enough time to prepare the dish

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three main components to the dish that we\u2019ll walk you through in this recipe. The Chicken Parm, the Roast Vegetables, and the Yoghurt Sauce. We\u2019ll kick things off with the Chicken Parm which is the most labor-intensive step

<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Homemade
Nothing beats the flavor of a perfectly made homemade Chicken Parm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Making a perfect Chicken Parm from scratch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone loves a good Chicken Parm, and they are so fun to make at home. Personally, I find nothing beats the flavor of a perfectly fried homemade Chicken Parm. A classic Chicken Parm is a piece of Chicken Breast that\u2019s been pounded out, crumbed with Breadcrumbs and fried until crispy. The Chicken is topped with a Tomato Sauce and Mozzarella and broiled until the Cheese is all gooey and melty

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step is to make the Tomato Sauce. It\u2019s very easy to make too. Fry off some Onions or Shallots in a frying pan then add some Tomato Paste and Canned Tomatoes. Allow it to simmer for about 10 \u2013 15 minutes until thickened. Set the Sauce aside to cool

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second step in making a homemade Chicken Parm is preparing the Chicken. You\u2019ll want to use medium sized Chicken Breasts and pound them out until they\u2019re a uniform thickness using a flat, heavy object. Rolling Pins are a favorite, as are heavy Saucepans. I\u2019ve also been known to use a Wine Bottle on occasion, which does the job!

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a breading station by filling three bowls. The first with seasoned AP Flour, the second with an Egg Wash, and the last with Breadcrumbs. Coat the Chicken in Flour, then Egg wash, then finish with the Breadcrumbs

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking the Chicken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Chicken is then shallow fried in Oil until golden-brown and crispy on both sides. The frying should take about 4 \u2013 5 minutes on each side but just keep checking the doneness as you cook. You want a brilliant golden-brown color

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the Chicken is cooked you can begin to build the Chicken Parm. Spoon over a generous amount of the Sauce we made earlier, covering as much of the Surface as possible. Then, add slices of Mozzarella Cheese on top of the sauce, again blanketing the Chicken

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place the prepared Chicken Parms on a sheet pan and put them directly under the broiler in your oven over the highest temperature. Cook them until the Cheese melts and begins to slightly char and brown in parts. It\u2019s now done! You can remove the Chicken Parms from the oven and slice them up ready for serving

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Roast
You can use whatever Vegetables you like for this recipe. We’ve opted for Brussel Sprouts, Potatoes, Onions, and Carrots<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The second element for this dish, the Vegetables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The unsung hero in our Chicken Parm with Roast Vegetables recipe must be the Veggies themselves. Often considered an afterthought, or simply filler on a plate, these Veggies are absolutely loaded with flavor

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roasting Vegetables is the absolute best way to get the most amount of flavor out of them. Prepare the Vegetables but roughly cutting them up into chunks (we simply cut the Brussel Sprouts in half) and season well with Olive Oil and Salt. Try to keep the size of the Vegetables relatively uniform so they cook at the same time

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roast them in the oven for about 25 \u2013 30 minutes until completely cooked and tender. The Potatoes may take a little longer, so what you can do is add them separately to their own tray and cook them 10 minutes earlier

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once cooked, remove the Vegetables and taste for seasoning. They may need a sprinkle more Salt, but it\u2019s best to taste them before adding any extra seasoning

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Yoghurt
The Yoghurt Sauce adds a vibrant creaminess to the dish, and is a much needed element to complete the plate<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The final step \u2013 a bright and vibrant Yoghurt Sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This may seem like an optional step, but I highly recommend you complete the Chicken Parm with Roast Vegetables dish by including this Yoghurt Sauce. It brightens up the whole dish, and adds a nice, creamy component to the Vegetables

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s so easy to make as well. Simply mix Greek Yoghurt with Lemon Juice, Lemon Zest, finely chopped Garlic, and Salt in a bowl. Taste it for seasoning and adjust to your preferences and it\u2019s done. I recommend making the Yoghurt Sauce in advance and storing it in the refrigerator until you\u2019re ready to eat

<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Easy
A simpler option for making a delicious Chicken Parm with Roast Vegetables is to use ready-made Chicken Schnitzels. It’ll save a good 30 – 40 minutes time for this dish<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If you\u2019re in a pinch you can use ready-made Chicken Schnitzels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A nice little hack is using ready-made Chicken Schnitzels. All you\u2019ll need to do is fry them up, add the toppings and broil them and you\u2019ve instantly got Chicken Parm!

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll just need to watch the quality of the Chicken Schnitzels. Likely if you get your hands on some that have been made fresh by the local butcher it\u2019s going to be a good result. I find this step is great as it\u2019ll cut out a good 30 minutes from the overall prep time for this dish. Definitely worth it if you can source some good quality Chicken Schnitzels
