Can I possibly make chicken parm a day before?   I'm thinking to bread and lightly fry the cutlets, refrigerate and bake next day with the sauce and mozzarella.   Im only thinking this way because I may have alot of company  and this would be easier than doing all in one day.   I usually buy Springer cutlets, I pound them them, and they are so tender, we only need a fork to cut.  I've never never did this the day before, so im very concerned they should be fork tender.  I wouldn't bake until next day.

@Dazlin  Absolutely!  You can make the cutlets the day before and refrigerate them. The next day when you need them, just layer as usual with the sauce and cheeses.  You may need a few minutes more in the oven since you started out with them cold from the fridge, but they'll turn out just fine!  

 

Just so you know, most restaurants make/fry their cutlets ahead of time and then add the sauce and cheese whenever they need to.
