This easy Chicken Parmesan Recipe is a classic American favorite and makes a perfect meal.
Parmigiana is a Southern Italian dish from Sicily, although the name often causes it to be confused with the Parma cuisine of Northern Italy.
Parmigiana is made with a thinly sliced filling, layered with cheese and tomato sauce, then baked in an oven. The recipe is often made with breaded meat cutlets like chicken, pork or veal.
Other, similar Chicken Parmesan Recipe ideas include the same dish made with added vegetables like eggplant, cauliflower, carrots, or zucchini. Almost any of your favorite veggies will do. Or you can just skip the meat altogether and bake Veggie Parmigiana. In fact, authentic Italian versions of this dish are always vegetarian.
