My grandmother called these “egg cutlets” and they are crispy and delicious. Shredded mozzarella cheese or thin-sliced mozzarellaĪdditional grated cheese for serving- I use Locatelli cheeseġ cup red sauce – I used homemade sauce but you could use jarred sauce or canned pizza sauce.ģ cups peanut oil (I use that to fry) but you could use canola or a light olive oilĬOOKS NOTE: any leftover eggs and seasoned breadcrumbs can be combined and fried. – Season the breadcrumbs with dried parsley and some grated cheese for extra flavor.Ħ large eggs, beaten and seasoned with salt and pepper But we were very happy with the results and I wanted to share this recipe with you….ģ-4 cups of Breadcrumbs (I made my own from Italian bread and seasoned them myself) but you could use packaged Italian seasoned breadcrumbs or panko or a combination of both breadcrumbs styles- your choice. I only had an 8″ cake pan and a 10″ high-sided skillet and the chicken crust came out a little thicker than I would have liked so I would prepare this again using a 10″ cake pan and fry it in a 12″ high-sided skillet next time. It came out great but the only thing I would change next time is the size of the pizza. Bob was quite surprised and enjoyed the chicken parmigiana “pizza” style as we remembered the little restaurant where we first tasted it. So I did a little research on the best way to fry the chicken in a disc and gathered my ingredients and put it all together. ![]() So, I decided for this Father’s Day I would try and make it myself. Recently, I have asked around on Facebook and with friends to see if anyone knew of a restaurant closer to my home that made this dish and no one could give me an answer. Ground chicken with mozzarella, red sauce, and basil- plain, simple and delicious. One afternoon we stopped in a restaurant near Chelsea Market that was a real old-fashioned Mom and Pop red sauce Italian restaurant (sorry I can’t remember the name) and we ordered their special of the day which was chicken parmigiana but in the style of a pizza. Something I could make at home that wasn’t on the usual dinner rotation, and then the lightbulb went off.Ī few years ago, before my heart transplant and Covid arrived, Bob and I spent many days and nights in NYC visiting restaurants, museums, Broadway plays, and yes, even tourist sights. I knew restaurants would be crowded for Father’s Day and we would be staying home, so I was thinking about a meal that I could make for Bob that would be a surprise. I hope all the dads, grandpa’s, godfathers, dad’s to be and pet dads had a wonderful day! I wanted to share with you the special dinner I made Bob for Father’s Day this past weekend.
