Crispy chicken parmesan (aka chicken parmigiana) is one of those delicious dishes that looks fancy but is fairly simple to make at home. If you’ve ever made crispy chicken cutlets, you’re already halfway there! In this recipe, the chicken is double coated with flour, then with a parmesan panko crumb mixture for an extra crispy crust – loaded with flavor, a crowd-pleasing protein for family and entertaining. For more of a saucy chicken parm, transfer the remaining marinara to a baking dish, top with the chicken, and garnish with herbs. This makes the chicken soggier, though. Ensure that the internal temperature reads 165ºF/74ºC on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer the cooked pieces to a wire rack set over a parchment paper-lined baking sheet while you repeat the process with the remaining chicken pieces. Garnish and serve: Top the chicken parmesan with ribboned parsley and some basil leaves, then serve and enjoy!
