Chicken Parmesan

Step 7 Fry

Carefully place the chicken into the frying pan with a fork.

Let it cook for 3-5 minutes and then with another fork (that never touches the raw chicken on the plate), flip all the chicken over so that the other sides could cook for the same amount of time.

Repeat flipping the chicken over until it is evenly brown on each side. You can also tell that the chicken is cooked because when you stick the fork in, the chicken will feel soft and watery as opposed to slightly rigid and crunchy (which it does when it is raw).

If you can stick a fork through without resistance and both sides are browned, it's done.

Place the chicken cutlet on a clean plate with a paper towel on it to absorb the oil. Place another paper towel over top to absorb the oil on both sides.

(tip: Later, should you be inclined, you can cook off even more of the oil later by baking it in the preheated oven for 2-3 minute before you add the sauce and cheese)
