This recipe is a classic, passed down from my great-grandmother, to my grandmother, to my mother, and now to me. Chicken Parmesan is also known as Chicken Parmigiana. It is one of the most loved, most popular, and most ordered chicken recipes in the world. But often times, the chicken is too dry, doesn’t have enough flavour or seasoning, or cheddar cheese is used instead of mozzarella. The secret for maximum flavour is to make sure your chicken is well seasoned. This tradtional recipe may have a few steps but it’s so worth it. Follow this recipe and you won’t be disappointed.
