Chicken Parmesan
Savour the classic comfort of Chicken Parmesan with this easy recipe designed for two. With just 15 minutes of prep and 25 minutes of baking time, this dish combines tender chicken cutlets, rich marinara sauce, and melted mozzarella and Parmesan for a delicious Italian-inspired dinner. You can use any commercial marinara sauce but if you prefer a homemade marinara, you should add 10 minutes for prep + 30 to cook time. You can prepare the sauce in advance and keep it in an airtight container in the fridge or freeze it for longer storage.
Opt for a large chicken breast, butterflied into two cutlets, or conveniently pick up pre-cut chicken cutlets at the grocery store.
While many of us are familiar with finely ground Italian breadcrumbs seasoned with Italian herbs, consider upgrading to panko (the Japanese breadcrumbs made from crustless white bread that is processed into flakes and then dried). These breadcrumbs have a dryer and flakier consistency than regular breadcrumbs, so they absorb less oil.
Chicken Parmesan is typically served atop spaghetti, but it also shines as the star of the dish alongside vegetables like green beans or sautéed spinach.
