Dave’s Vodka Sauce Chicken Parm

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

Dave’s vodka sauce chicken parm was out of this world delicious.

I had the pleasure of eating this incredible dinner when I visited my friend’s Janie and Dave at the Jersey Shore over the weekend.

They are fellow content creators who make relatable family content with a large following on Tik Tok and Instagram.

This recipe was a collaboration for my Food with Friends series and they choose to make this.

I absolutely love vodka sauce and chicken Parmesan. The two together were a match made in heaven.

Dave did the brunt of the cooking and while I have own way of making vodka sauce and chicken cutlets, his versions of both were absolutely incredible.

I happily ate my entire plate with a big smile on my face. It’s so nice to be cooked for every once in a while.

My sister, who tagged along for the ride and the food, loved it all, too.

I hope you give this recipe a try. I know that if you do, you’ll love it just as much as we all did, too.

Food with friends is a series where I go go my friends house, they make something delicious for me and I share the recipe with you.

I’ve been doing this series for a couple of years now. It’s a really fun way for me to expose myself to different recipes and show off my friend’s talents in the kitchen.

Every episode is unique to the individual who’s cooking. It’s a fun little series!

What should I serve Dave’s vodka chicken parm sauce with?

This was such a delicious dinner that can go with many different things.

Dave and Janie served pasta along side the chicken parm with some of the extra vodka sauce that they had made.

That’s the route that I would have taken, too.

Any pasta and sauce combo would be fantastic here but if you’d rather go with something else, some rice or a nice big salad would both be fantastic choices, also.

You can never go wrong with some sliced Italian bread, also.

Dave’s vodka sauce chicken parm ingredients

• Chicken cutlets, thinly sliced
• Italian seasoned breadcrumbs & panko breadcrumbs
• Egg wash (eggs, egg whites & cream)
• Rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, oregano & fresh parsley
• Parmesan cheese
• Pancetta
• Onion, chopped
• Garlic, chopped
• Vodka
• Crushed tomatoes
• Tomato puree
• Heavy cream
• Fresh mozzarella

Instructions

First, make the egg wash by whisking together the eggs, egg whites and cream in a bowl.

Now, in a separate bowl, mix together the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and parsley.

After that, coat the chicken cutlets in the egg wash then place them into the breading mixture. Flip them so that both sides of each chicken cutlet are evenly coated with breading on both sides.

Now, fry the chicken cutlets in hot oil on both sides until they are cooked all the way through and crispy.

When they are done, place them on a paper towel lined plate to drain and season them with salt.

Now to prepare the sauce, place the diced pancetta into a large skillet and cook it until it’s crispy then remove it from the pan.

Now add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Dave said he mashed the garlic into some olive oil and created a paste but you can just add some oil to the pan if you’d prefer that.

Once the vegetables are soft, add the pancetta back into the pan and add the vodka. Let the vodka cook out for a minute or two.

Then add the crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.

Now that simmer for about 10 minutes.

In the meantime, take the cooked chicken cutlets and add them to a baking sheet.

Then add a little vodka sauce onto the top of each chicken cutlet.

Next, add some fresh mozzarella cheese to the top of sauce.

After that, bake it in the oven until the cheese is melted.

Then, finish it off with a little more vodka sauce and Parmesan cheese.

Finally, serve this with pasta or the side of your choice and enjoy!
