Chicken Parmigiana is a classic Italian-American dish that combines tender breaded chicken breast with a flavorful tomato sauce, melted mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. The chicken is first coated in breadcrumbs and pan-fried or baked until golden, then layered with marinara sauce and cheese before being baked to perfection. Originating from Italian traditions of veal Parmigiana, this adaptation has become a staple comfort food worldwide. This dish provides protein from the chicken and essential nutrients like calcium from the cheese, but it can be high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium, particularly when fried or heavily sauced. Choosing a baked preparation, reduced-fat cheeses, or serving it with nutrient-rich sides like steamed vegetables can make it a more balanced option. Chicken Parmigiana is often enjoyed with pasta, but swapping refined carbs for whole grains or greens can enhance its nutritional profile.
