8 steps

Ingredients

  • Parmo
  • 4 chicken fillets
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (for topping)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • cooking oil
  • Bechamel Sauce
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups milk
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Directions

  1. 1
    Pound chicken fillets until flat and thin.
  2. 2
    Evenly coat the chicken fillets in the beaten egg yolk then dip in breadcrumbs.
  3. 3
    Deep-fry the chicken fillets until golden brown.
  4. 4
    Now make the bechamel sauce - In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium-low heat until melted. Add the flour and stir until smooth. Over medium heat, cook until the mixture turns a light, golden sandy color, about 6 to 7 minutes.
  5. 5
    Meanwhile, heat the milk in a separate pan until just about to boil. Add the hot milk to the butter mixture 1 cup at a time, whisking continuously until very smooth. Bring to a boil. Cook 10 minutes, stirring constantly, then remove from heat. Season with salt and nutmeg, and set aside until ready to use.
  6. 6
    Pour bechamel sauce over the cooked chicken fillets.
  7. 7
    Add cheddar cheese to the top of the chicken, heat it in a grill until cheese is melted.
  8. 8
    Despite its name, the best cheese to use on top of a Parmo is actually Cheddar. Parmesan cheese tends to burn too easily and go brown when heated under the grill when placed on top of a Parmo.
