Classic chicken parmesan — crispy breaded chicken cutlets topped with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella. This Italian-Canadian comfort food is a weeknight staple in kitchens across the country. Our recipe uses a three-step breading process for the crunchiest coating that stays crispy even under the sauce and cheese.

Pro Tips

💡Pound chicken to even thickness for uniform cooking.
💡Use panko for a crunchier, lighter coating than regular breadcrumbs.
💡Don't skip the flour step — it helps the egg adhere to the chicken.
💡Let the oil get hot before adding chicken to prevent soggy breading.

Variations

🔄Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for juicier results.
🔄Add a layer of prosciutto between the chicken and cheese.
🔄Air fryer version: spray with oil and air fry at 200°C for 12 minutes.
🔄Make it a sandwich with ciabatta bread and extra sauce.
