A Little Story About This Dish…

One of the classic recipes in the Italian repertoire, Chicken Parmesan is enjoyed by anyone who truly loves chicken.

This is a breaded, then pan-fried chicken breast. Regarding the bread crumbs you have the choice of Italian seasoned bread crumbs or, if you prefer a more “crunchy” version, Japanese Panko crumbs.

This dish is often presented over spaghetti pasta but is equally at home in a small casserole dish or simply plated.

Be sure to have extra tomato pasta sauce on had as it seems there is never enough for your hungry family. We also love a dollop of basil pesto or chopped fresh basil as a garnish.
