The Best Crispy Chicken Parmesan

I love a easy Italian dinner at home! Chicken Parmesan is one of those quick meals I whip up for a family dinner. The chicken is so comforting and flavorful with every bite. This recipe doesn’t call for a bunch of ingredients either. I use my easy crispy chicken cutlet recipe to prepare the chicken. Then I just add pasta sauce and cheese to finish it off in the oven. The last step is to just serve the parmesan chicken over a bed of pasta. Sounds so simple right? Let’s jump into this easy recipe.
