About Chicken parm

Chicken Parmesan, often called Chicken Parmigiana, is a classic Italian-American dish that combines breaded chicken breast, marinara sauce, melted mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. The chicken is typically coated in seasoned breadcrumbs, pan-fried or baked, then topped with the savory tomato sauce and gooey cheese before finishing in the oven. Its origins are inspired by Italian eggplant Parmesan, adapted over time to include chicken as the star ingredient. While Chicken Parm is rich in flavor and comfort, its nutritional profile is a mix of pros and cons. Lean chicken provides a good source of protein, and tomatoes in the marinara offer vitamins like C and potassium. However, frying the breaded chicken and the cheese content can increase saturated fat and calorie levels. Opting for baked versions and lighter cheese servings can make this indulgent meal slightly healthier.
