Chicken Parmesan is a popular Italian-American dish that features breaded and fried chicken cutlets topped with marinara sauce and melted cheese, typically mozzarella or Parmesan. The chicken is usually pounded to an even thickness, coated in flour, dipped in egg, and then covered in breadcrumbs before being cooked until golden brown. Once the chicken is prepared, it is placed in a baking dish, smothered with marinara sauce, and sprinkled with cheese. The dish is then baked until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Chicken Parmesan is often served with pasta or a side salad, making it a hearty and satisfying meal.
