Hey guys!

Today, I wanted to share with you one of my all-time favorite Italian dishes: Chicken Parmesan. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water! If you’ve never had it before, you’re in for a treat.

So, what is Chicken Parmesan exactly? It’s a dish that consists of crispy breaded chicken, topped with melty mozzarella cheese and tangy tomato sauce. It’s usually served over a bed of pasta, but you can also enjoy it with a side of garlic bread or a salad.

The first step in making Chicken Parmesan is to bread the chicken. You’ll need some flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs. I like to add some Italian seasoning to the breadcrumbs for extra flavor. Dip the chicken in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs, and place it on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

Next, you’ll want to bake the chicken in the oven until it’s golden and crispy. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes at 375°F.

While the chicken is baking, you can make the tomato sauce. You’ll need some canned tomatoes, garlic, onion, and Italian seasoning. Saute the garlic and onion in some olive oil until they’re soft, then add the canned tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until it’s thick and flavorful.

When the chicken is done, take it out of the oven and top each piece with some tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. Pop it back in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

And that’s it! You now have a delicious and satisfying meal of Chicken Parmesan. It’s perfect for a cozy night in or for impressing your dinner guests.

Personally, I love Chicken Parmesan because it combines so many delicious flavors and textures. The crispy chicken, the melty cheese, and the tangy sauce all work together to create a truly satisfying dish. Plus, it’s easy to make and doesn’t require too many ingredients.

If you haven’t tried Chicken Parmesan yet, I highly recommend giving it a go. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Until next time,

First, start by cooking the spaghetti according to the package instructions. While the spaghetti is cooking, you can start on the meatballs. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

Next, form the meat mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes.

Finally, add the meatballs back into the skillet and let them cook in the tomato sauce for an additional 10 minutes. Toss the cooked spaghetti with the tomato sauce and meatballs. Top with chopped fresh basil and enjoy!
