This classic dish combines tender, breaded chicken with savory cheese and fresh herbs, making it a family favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • ⅔ cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs
  • ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, chives, or rosemary)
  • 3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1½ pounds), pounded ¼-inch thick
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare three shallow bowls: fill one with flour, a second with beaten eggs, and the third with the mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt, pepper, and chopped herbs.
  2. Season the pounded chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, then dip it in the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, before pressing it into the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat for all the chicken pieces.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
  5. Carefully add the breaded chicken to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until fully cooked through.
  6. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges for an added burst of flavor.

Notes

To keep leftovers fresh, store any uneaten Chicken Parmesan in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
