How To Make chicken parm-avioli
-
Step 1To make the chicken Parmesan part: Slice the chicken lengthwise to about 1/4 inch thickness. If necessary, pound the chicken to get it to this thickness. I also cut my chicken into 2x2-inch pieces.
-
Step 2You will need 3 separate, shallow bowls. In 1 bowl, put flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and stir. In another bowl, put eggs and add about 2-3 Tbsps of water; beat well. In the 3rd bowl, add bread crumbs.
-
Step 3Heat a skillet with about 1/2 inch of oil over medium heat.
-
Step 4Dredge each piece of chicken first in the flour.
-
Step 5Then in the egg.
-
Step 6Then in the bread crumbs.
-
Step 7The chicken will cook quickly due to the thickness of the pieces. Don't overcook. 2-3 minutes on each side; it will be baked later. You may need to add more oil as you go.
-
Step 8While you are cooking the chicken, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a deep-sided 2-3 quart casserole pan with cooking spray. Spread 1/4 cup - 1/2 cup of sauce on the bottom of the pan.
-
Step 9Lay down a layer of ravioli on top of the sauce. Put a spoonful of sauce on top of each ravioli. Sprinkle with Parmesan and 1/3 of the mozzarella.
-
Step 10Add the cooked chicken in a single layer, cutting to fit if necessary. Spoon some sauce onto each piece of chicken. Sprinkle on some more parmesan and 1/3 of the mozzarella.
-
Step 11Add another layer of the ravioli.
-
Step 12Top the ravioli with the remaining sauce.
-
Step 13Add more mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover casserole with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Uncover and top with remaining cheese. Bake for 5 minutes more.
