8Chicken Parmesan (Chicken Parmigiana)

Chicken Parmesan, or Chicken Parmigiana as it is often called, is a beloved dish in many American and Italian-American households.

Breaded and fried chicken cutlets smothered in marinara sauce and melted cheese create a comforting and flavorful meal. However, the origins of this dish are more likely to be traced back to Italian-American communities rather than Italy itself. While similar dishes exist in Italian cuisine, such as Melanzane alla Parmigiana (Eggplant Parmesan), the chicken version is a product of the Italian-American culinary landscape.
