And the fussy family agrees! We all loved it and agree it's a keeper! The only modification I made is to add a tsp of chopped basil, and a 1/4 to 1/2 tsp sugar to the sauce, to cut the acidity. The chicken breasts were so juicy. This is a new favorite, and we'll be making it again and again! Couldn't get the romanitas, so did part romas and part sugar plum grape tomatoes. The coring and seeding was timely on the grape tomatoes but no biggy on the romas, so will try with ripe romas next time to see if that works (if not sweet enough, a bit of sugar should help. Definitely try this! You'll love it. Great for guests. Everyone agreed it's restaurant quality.
Thanks Emeril ... this will join our other favorite of yours, the Braised Chicken Thighs with Button Mushrooms. If anyone hasn't tried that yet, do ... it's awesome too!

This chicken recipe is perfect! The smoked mozzarella makes the dish taste rustic and wonderful. I actually did not make the sauce because I couldn't find the tomatoes, and don't care for grape tomatoes much. It sounds amazing though. This recipe was easy enough that my husband made the whole thing! We did have to bake the chicken a little longer in the oven to get it to 165 degrees, but our chicken was rather thick. Try this recipe - you'll never order chicken parm at a restaurant again!

This is a great recipe. The first time I made it was for my husband and I and we thought it was so good, so then I decided to invite the whole family over one day and now everyone loves it. They want me to make it all the time.

I made this recipe last night and my husband and I absolutely loved it. Since I did not have any Romanita tomatoes, I instead used Roma tomatoes and roasted them just as the recipe suggests. The sauce was fantastic and if you use jarred tomato sauce, it wouldn't taste the same. This sauce was so fresh and tasty I can't imagine using anything different. I made this recipe with Emeril's Roasted Cauliflower dish and that was tasty as well. My husband said everything had a restaurant-quality taste. I will definitely be making this again and again. Oh, and don't forget the smoked mozzarella. That is a must!! Enjoy!!

Anybody can bread and fry chicken for chicken parm, but that sauce technique is amazing. Make the sauce, it is a must have technique to have in your repitour. As it stands alone, it is a great recipe, but it can be augmented to suit any familly's tastes. Our's adds red pepper flakes, double salt and triple pepper, as well as a bit of fresh basil chiffanade after blending. The smoked mozz is also amazing, it's worth the trip to the specialty stores to locate but if you can't find it, fresh mozz is also very very good in this dish. We use half and half, one half smoked, one half fresh per each breast.

My mom makes chicken parmesan pretty well, but when I made this, it blew her mind. The tomato sauce has such an aroma and is definitely best with some cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes (if you like that kick. With the sauce by itself, it lacks something that I cannot quite place, but when I add a little bit of store-bought pasta sauce, it seems to put it in there. I'll figure it out eventually. This dish is also nothing without the smoked mozzarella, so that is critical. Make sure to tenderize the chicken breast so your guests will be wowed by the tenderness of the chicken (although you didn't slow cook it or anything. I made this last night with my girlfriend, and it was probably the best meal we've ever had.

I made this with jar roasted tomato sauce, and was very good, but want to try making my own next time. Can't find the romanita tomatoes, so if you use part Roma and Cherry tomatoes as suggested, do you need to peel the Roma tomatoes before roasting?

This dish is truly amazing! Very Easy, and so tasty. I especially loved the oven roasted tomatoe sauce - quick. I use this as a stand by recipe, and my family loves it.
