Avocado Chicken Parmigiana

Labels: { , , }


This is one variation of Southern Italian dish "Parmigiana", which is made with shallow-fried eggplants slices topped with tomato sauce and cheese. It is then baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Some recipes use hard grated cheeses such as Parmesan or Pecorino Romano, while others use softer melting cheeses like Mozzarella, or a combination of these. I just used Parmesan (that's all I had when I made this dish) will definitely use the combination next time.

  • 220 g Chicken breast fillet, halved lengthways
  • 30 g All-purpose flour
  • 1 Egg, lightly beaten
  • 100 g Dried breadcrumbs
  • Olive oil
  • 4 tbsp Tomato pasta sauce
  • 1/2 Avocado, sliced
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
  • Salad leaves, to serve
  1. Preheat oven to 200C/400F fan-forced. Place chicken between 2 sheets plastic film and pound to 1/4-inch thick with a rolling pin.
  2. Coat the chicken first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the beaten egg and finally coat well with breadcrumbs. Place on a baking tray. Repeat with remaining chicken, flour, egg mixture and breadcrumbs.
  3. Spray chicken with olive oil. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and top each with two tablespoon pasta sauce. Arrange avocado over sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Return to oven. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until golden and chicken is cooked through.

Haha...I thought it's Mexican food! See, my mind is still on Mexican food after eating chicken fajita made by my daughter. New word but bet I pronounce 'parmigiana' wrongly :P Lovely dish with the chicken.

Do you know that I only discovered the amazing combination of avocado and chicken about three weeks ago! I nearly died from the beautiful flavour the offered when married together. So now I am on the lookout for all things chicken and avocado. You are a genius!

Very pretty and a very simple addition to a classic recipe. I love the idea of the creamy avacado (which I would salt and add lemon to) paired with the crispy chicken.
