Chicken Parmesan, or Chicken Parmigiana, is a popular Italian-American dish featuring breaded and fried chicken cutlets topped with marinara sauce and melted cheese. The chicken is typically pounded thin, seasoned, and then coated in flour, dipped in egg, and breaded with seasoned breadcrumbs before being sautéed until golden brown. Once cooked, the chicken cutlets are placed in a baking dish, generously covered with marinara sauce, and topped with a blend of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. They are then baked until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Chicken Parmesan is often served over pasta, making it a hearty and satisfying meal, and is garnished with fresh basil or parsley for added flavor.
