30 minChicken Parm doesn’t need to be an all-day project. This streamlined version gets you crispy, cheesy, saucy chicken in half an hour flat.
Breasts get coated in seasoned breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan, then browned quickly in olive oil until they’re golden and crunchy.
A spoonful of Italian-seasoned tomato sauce goes on top, followed by a blanket of shredded mozzarella that melts into a stretchy, bubbly layer.
A final hit of Parmesan on top and it’s done. Serve it with spaghetti or a simple green salad and call it a win.
Chef Tips
- Get the oil hot before the chicken goes in. A sizzle on contact means a crispy crust. A quiet pan means soggy breading.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan in the breadcrumb mix for a sharper, more pronounced flavor than the canned stuff.
- Let the chicken rest a minute after the cheese melts so you don’t burn your mouth on molten mozzarella. Patience pays off here.
