About Parmesan chicken

Parmesan Chicken is a flavorful dish rooted in Italian-American cuisine, combining tender, breaded chicken cutlets with rich Parmesan cheese. Typically, chicken breasts are coated in a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and seasonings, then baked or pan-fried to achieve a crispy, golden crust. Often topped with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella, it pairs well with pasta or roasted vegetables. Rich in protein from the chicken, it provides nutrients like calcium from the cheese. However, its calorie content may be high due to the breading, oil, and cheeses, and sodium levels can be substantial from the seasoning and sauce. Healthier adaptations, such as baking instead of frying or using whole-grain breadcrumbs, can make it a more balanced choice. Popular for its comforting flavor and versatility, Parmesan Chicken continues to be a favorite in households and restaurants alike.
