In this recipe, we did not follow the traditional method of preparing chicken parmesan. We asked ourselves, “Why prepare crispy chicken parmesan, then make it soggy with marinara sauce?” Fresh mozzarella is also always best fresh. In our version, all the components are on the plate, with the marinara sauce served on top of a warm, toasted slice of Calabrese bread. It is a Deconstructed Chicken Parmesan, and that is how we like it.
The key to this dish is the use of fresh ingredients. Marinara sauce does not take long to prepare and it is infinitely better than the canned variety. Somalis call it been dallac
We also like to make the chicken somewhat thin. This way you will end up with chicken that is truly golden brown. If the chicken is thick, you will have to fry it longer for it to be fully cooked, and by then the breadcrumbs will brown too much. Finishing the chicken in the oven does solve this problem partially, but that is an extra step if you do not want to melt the good, fresh mozzarella.

Method
Tap a step to mark it done.
Preparing the chicken Trim any excess fat.
Slice each chicken breast horizontally.
Place the chicken between 2 layers of plastic wrap and pound them to even the thickness.
Using a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic with the salt.
In a large dish, beat the eggs and add the milk.
Add the crushed garlic and the ground black pepper. Mix well.
In a separate plate or large dish, combine the bread crumbs and the parmesan cheese. Mix well.
Dip each chicken piece in the egg mixture, then
Coat each chicken piece with breadcrumbs. Pat down to help adhere the bread crumbs to the chicken.
Frying the chicken Use canola oil for frying and use medium heat.
Test to see if the oil is hot enough by dropping a few bread crumbs in the oil. If it foams, the oil is ready.
Place the chicken in the oil and fry for 2 minutes on the first side.
Flip the chicken over and fry for another minute.
Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
Serve the marinara sauce with a warm, toasted slice of Calabrese bread. Serve the chicken with slices of fresh mozzarella and tomatoes.
Preparing the marinara sauce In a pan set on medium heat, saute the onion in the olive oil for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for another minute.
Add the diced tomatoes, the salt and sugar.
After 7 minutes add the chopped basil and olives. It is ready.
Preparing the salad and toasted bread Cut 4 slices of the bread. Toast the slices.
