This Chicken Parmesan recipe breaks down the classic dish into simple steps anyone can follow. You'll learn how to properly bread chicken for maximum crispiness, pan-fry to golden perfection, and finish in the oven for that signature cheesy topping. The result is restaurant-quality Chicken Parmesan with a crispy exterior, juicy interior, and the perfect balance of tangy sauce and melted cheese.
Serve your Chicken Parmesan over spaghetti or with a side of garlic bread to soak up the extra sauce. For a lighter option, pair it with a simple green salad dressed with lemon and olive oil. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
