This Chicken Parm Is On My “Must Have” List at the Jersey Shore
Who doesn’t love chicken Parmesan? Crispy chicken, tomato sauce, melted mozzarella, and a side of pasta. What’s not to like?
But here’s something you might not know: chicken Parmesan isn’t actually an old Italian recipe. It’s more of an Italian-American creation.
The dish was inspired by eggplant Parmesan, a popular Italian dish made with breaded eggplant, tomato sauce, and cheese. Italian immigrants brought those cooking traditions to America, and somewhere along the way, chicken became the star.
Over the years, chicken Parmesan became a favorite in Italian-American restaurants and homes across the country.
And honestly, it’s easy to see why. Take a piece of crispy chicken, add some good tomato sauce, cover it with melted cheese, and bake it until everything comes together.
Simple, filling, and really good.
It’s one of those meals that has been around for generations and still feels just as familiar today.
