Few dishes are as iconic and comforting as chicken parmigiana. With its golden, crispy breaded chicken, tangy marinara sauce, and a blanket of melted cheese, it’s no wonder this Italian-American classic has become a household favorite. It’s hearty, flavorful, and always hits the spot.
The magic of this dish lies in its layers of texture and flavor. The chicken is coated in seasoned breadcrumbs and Parmesan, fried to perfection, then baked in marinara until tender and juicy. The melted mozzarella on top makes every bite indulgent, while fresh basil adds a touch of brightness.
Chicken parmigiana is as versatile as it is delicious. It’s traditionally served with a side of spaghetti, but it pairs just as well with garlic bread, roasted vegetables, or even layered into a sandwich. It’s also a fantastic dish for family dinners or special occasions, since it looks and tastes like it took hours to make.
