Chicken Parmesan

While having Italian roots, Chicken Parmesan won’t be found on tables in Italy. Most likely evolving from the Italian eggplant Parmesan (parmigiana de melanzane, which means made with Parmesan), borrows the classic preparation of eggplant--where eggplant is battered and sautéed, then simmered in tomato sauce and covered in a melty blanket of cheese--and applies it to chicken breasts. Frequently appearing on Italian restaurant menus in the U.S., chicken parm (the frequently shortened name), can lead you to think it’s complicated to make. It’s actually deceptively easy! From start to finish, this impressive and flavorful chicken dish takes only 25 minutes to get on the table. This versatile skillet masterpiece is terrific, no matter what the occasion. Make it for a special dinner, like a date night at home, an anniversary, or even a birthday dinner. Or when you’re looking for a comforting meal on a hectic weeknight, it’s a terrific choice in terms of time to make it and the finished taste.
