Chicken Parmigiana
A classic Italian-American combination of breaded chicken breast, rich tomato sauce, and melted mozzarella and Parmesan, finished with fresh basil. The breaded chicken is topped with tomato sauce and melted cheese, keeping everything moist and satisfying. Substantial and comforting, it works equally well as a midweek dinner or something a little more considered for two.
