This supersized chicken Parmesan is topped with marinara, melted mozzarella, and fresh basil for a dramatic—yet surprisingly weeknight-friendly—affair. You’ll start by rolling out ground chicken between two sheets of parchment paper until it’s as thin as a ruler, a clever technique that went viral on Tiktok (and inspired our take) from Chef Skyler. You’ll coat the top of it with flour, eggs, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan—just like you would a typical cutlet. The next step is the only one that takes effort, and one that requires a burst of confidence to pull off: You’ll flip the entire disk in one swift move, exposing its undressed underbelly so you can bread the other side. If this process does not go as planned, don’t fret: A misshapen “cutlet” will bake up just as delicious (and hidden underneath all the toppings, no one will see its flaws). Serve it as is, tuck it between slices of crusty bread for a filling sandwich, or serve it alongside a simple salad for dinner. And fair warning: You’ll need two half-sheet pans for this meal.
