Chicken Parmigana

How to cook Chicken Parmigana?

Chicken Parmigana is a classic dish of Italian cuisine. Juicy chicken in crispy breading is cooked in tomato sauce under a cheese crust. The perfect dish for a light dinner. The peculiarity of making a crispy crust is that we mix breadcrumbs with hard Parmesan cheese. The color and texture after such roasting are great. We’ve already cooked this and it’s Chicken Milanese! In fact, we complement Chicken Milanese with tomato sauce and Mozzarella cheese.
