    The best easy chicken recipe you’ll ever try! This chicken parmesan is made with a flavorful crispy coating and baked with homemade marinara sauce and plenty of cheese before served over spaghetti or zucchini noodles.

    Crispy Chicken Parmesan

    Chicken Parmesan (also called Chicken Parmigiana) is one of the most popular and most loved oven baked chicken recipes out there. I'm sure it will become one of your family's favorites.

    This recipe calls for a marinara sauce - I've used my homemade version of it, and it is so good, you need to try it out! Honestly, so fresh and flavorful! Simply make it ahead and keep it in the refrigerator or freeze for few months.

    Usually, I'm not a fan of chicken breast, because it usually requires more skill to make it really juicy and tender. BUT this recipe is 100% foolproof and will guarantee the chicken to be moist, tender, and flavorful. Simply delicious!

    On a side note, this chicken recipe does require more steps, but it’s totally worth it.

    This chicken tastes better than in your favorite restaurant, no joking!

    Tips to make the best chicken parmesan

    • Use nonstick pan when frying the chicken.
    • Breadcrumbs - try to use small breadcrumbs and not large as this will ensure they will stick to the chicken as they should. Panko or these flavored breadcrumbs are perfect choice!
    • Marinara sauce - make my homemade marinara sauce and you can also double the amount if you like more sauce with your meal.
