Classic Chicken Parmesan Recipe (VIDEO)
This classic Chicken Parmesan is as good as it gets! It has a parmesan crust that seals in the juiciest chicken breast, topped with Homemade Marinara and a generous amount of melted cheese. The process to make this is surprisingly quick and easy.

Chicken Parmesan Recipe:
This is the classic version of Chicken Parm. A restaurant-quality Chicken Parmesan is so easy to recreate at home (for a fraction of the price). Since this chicken is breaded and covered in sauce, it also reheats really well so you will appreciate any leftovers. This is among our family’s favorite 30-minute meals.
This Chicken Parmesan Recipe is wonderful over hot pasta and served with Caesar Salad or Roasted Asparagus on the side. It can also be served as a hot sandwich on a toasted bun; yum!
What is Chicken Parmigiana?
The Italian name is Chicken Parmigiana and in the US, it has been nicknamed Chicken Parm, short for Chicken Parmesan. It is essentially breaded chicken breast covered in tomato sauce and cheese and is similar to Eggplant Parmesan.
How can something so simple be THIS good you ask? You only have to try it once and you will know why everyone is talking about this dish. P.S. If you want to take this a step further, you can also make Stuffed Chicken Parmesan.
Ingredients for Easy Chicken Parmesan:
You just need a few pantry staples to make Chicken Parm. This is the best with homemade marinara sauce but if you’re in a hurry, you can absolutely use your favorite store-bought marinara. All you need for the perfect chicken parm is:
- Chicken breasts
- Flour, salt, and pepper to dredge
- Eggs, for the egg wash
- Italian bread crumbs and parmesan for the crust
- A good cooking oil
- Marinara Sauce
- Shredded Mozzarella
- Parsley or basil to garnish
How to Make Parmesan Crusted Chicken:
- Mak the easy 20-minute homemade marinara and while it simmers, continue to prep the chicken.
- Cut 2 chicken breasts in half length-wise for 4 cutlets and season with salt and pepper.
- Set up 3 shallow bowls: In the first bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper, in the second bowl, beat together 2 eggs and in the third bowl, stir together parmesan and bread crumbs
- Dredge chicken in flour, dusting off excess, then dip in eggs and turn to coat in bread crumbs.
- Once all chicken is breaded, heat a large non-stick skillet with enough oil to lightly coat the bottom and saute 3-4 minutes per side or until just cooked through at 165˚F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Pour half of your marinara sauce in a casserole dish. Arrange chicken pieces over marinara in a single layer. Spoon on marinara sauce and top with cheese then bake in a casserole dish at 425˚F for 15 minutes until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling.
Cook’s Tip: If chicken cutlets are large or uneven, use a meat mallet to pound between plastic wrap into 1/3″-thick cutlets and they will cook faster and more evenly.
Can Chicken Parm be Made Ahead?
You can saute the breaded chicken, arrange in a casserole dish and top with marinara and cheese, then cover and refrigerate. Bake before serving, but be sure to bake a few minutes longer since you are baking chilled chicken. Check the internal temperature of the chicken with an instant-read thermometer to ensure that it bakes to a safe 165˚F.
For a Healthier Baked Chicken Parmesan:
While we prefer sauteing the chicken lightly in oil because it is faster and uniformly golden, you can skip the pan-frying step and make this a healthier Baked Chicken Parmesan.
To make baked chicken parm, complete steps 1 through 3, lightly coat breaded chicken breasts with cooking spray on all sides and bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes then continue with the recipe in step 5.

Chicken Parmesan Recipe
Classic Chicken Parmesan recipe with parmesan-crusted tender chicken, topped with marinara and cheese. Chicken Parm is an easy, excellent chicken dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts (large), about 1 1/2 lbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 large eggs beaten until frothy
- 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese shredded or grated
- 2 Tbsp Light olive oil to sauté
- 24 oz marinara sauce
- 4 oz mozzarella cheese (1 cup shredded)
- 1 Tbsp fresh basil or parsley, chopped for optional garnish
Instructions
-
Trim chicken breasts and slice in half length-wise so you end up with 4 equal-thickness cutlets.* Season with salt and pepper.
-
In a shallow bowl, stir together 1/2 cup flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. In a second bowl, whisk 2 eggs until frothy. In a third bowl, stir together 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs with 1/2 cup parmesan cheese.
-
Dip both sides of each chicken cutlet into the flour, tapping off excess, then dip in beaten eggs, letting excess egg drip off and finally dip into the cheesy breadcrumbs, pressing cutlets into breading to ensure a thick, even coating of crumbs.
-
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Once oil is hot, add chicken in batches (don't crowd the pan), sautéing 3-4 min per side or until golden brown and just cooked through.
-
Pour 1 1/2 cups of marinara into a 9x13 casserole baking dish. Arrange chicken over sauce in a single layer. Top each chicken down the center with remaining 1 1/2 cups marinara, then cover with shredded mozzarella. Bake uncovered at 425˚F for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling. Garnish with chopped parsley or basil if desired.
Recipe Notes
*Cook's Tip: For large chicken breasts, pound your chicken between plastic wrap into even 1/3"-thick cutlets.

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
Could cracker crumbs be used instead of bread crumbs?
Hi Julie, I haven’t tested that but I think it could work. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
Wow! The Chicken Parmesan was a homerun with my husband! Eating out to get this delicious dish is a thing of the past! I also made your homemade marinara (my first attempt) and it added so much flavor and freshness to the dish. Love your recipes but fail to comment on them. Thank you!
You’re welcome, Debbie. I’m glad that your husband enjoyed this recipe so much, homemade is always better so it’s good that you already know how to create this dish on your own. I hope that you both love every recipe that you try!
I’ve tried several different chicken parm recipes with little success. This is by far the easiest and tastiest recipe I’ve tried. Even my husband (who is extremely picky when it comes to chicken recipes) loved it! He said it tastes just like Olive Garden chicken parm! Definitely making this again! Thank you!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
Made this for dinner and we loved it!! Thanks for the recipe!
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed your dinner.
I made this last night for my family and it was so so Delicious!! The homemade marinara sauce was superb!
Thank you for all you do! We appreciate you !
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Just made this first time , easy to follow instructions…turned out delicious..
I’m so glad you enjoyed that, Margie! Thank you for sharing that with me.
What kind of oil is good cooking oil? What type do you recommend? Olive, canola, vegetable?
I love all your receipts . Blessings for you and your lovely family. I wrote you from Puerto Rico.
You’re so nice! Thank you!
This looks amazing. Can’t wait to try it. What’s that 3 piece bowl you used for dipping. Makes it easy and mess free.
I’m excited for you to try this out! You must be referring to this breading set.
where is the link for the food scraper
Hi Debra, we love this food scraper here.
coming home from work I served these exact recipe to my husband. He is hard to please gastronomically so I was a bit nervous as this is my first ever baked recipe. To cut the story short,He is currently finishing his second slice while having the biggest grim I have seen him have in ages.
That is fantastic! I am so happy to read your comments, hope he will also love all the other recipes that you try! Thanks for the great review.
My family LOVED this – and my hubby said he wouldn’t change a thing – which is a HUGE deal in this house. Thank you for a very easy recipe!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
I was gonna do barbecue chicken for tonight’s dinner but after watching this recipe it’s this one then… chicken Parm!
Since were cutting down on carbs, we’ll be doing spiraled zucchini instead. Love your recipes Natasha
Yum! That sounds amazing! Thank you for that wonderful feedback Reslynn!
I use all the time Natashas reccepy My family and friends like delisuous meals..Thank you.
Awww that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me Bagena! I’m all smiles!
I made this for dinner and the family loved it!!! We’re a gluten-free family so, I used white rice flour instead of the all-purpose flour since I didn’t have any GF flour in the pantry. It worked perfectly! So juicy, flavorful and delicious! A winner in our books — Thank you, Natasha, for your amazing recipes! God bless your works!
That is awesome thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. This is also helpful for others who want to make a gluten-free version. Thanks for your great review too I appreciate it!
I made this tonight for my family and it was a huge hit. I think the homemade marinara sauce just takes this to the next level. I also used a good Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. Great ingredients make a difference. Thanks so much for your blog and your videos. We love to watch you and we love your food!
Thanks for your awesome feedback and it’s nice to that you use homemade marina sauce. It really makes a difference!
Made this last night using leftover cutlets from the night before. Also used my homemade sauce. It was delicious!!! Thank you again for another great recipe!!!
So glad you enjoyed this recipe! Thanks for sharing that with us.
Hi Natasha,
did you alter this recipe recently? I remember making a Chicken Parm recipe from your website but the steps were slightly different. I recall only spooning the sauce over the chicken and not covering the bottom of the pan with the sauce. Perhaps there were other steps that differ from this currently recipe but i do not recall at the moment.
Hi Mike, that is the only real difference was adding the sauce to the bottom. You can skip that step and it will still work great if you prefer to just spoon the sauce over the top.
I love everything about you, your personality, your simplicity, your happy face, your food, your recipe, EVERYTHING!!!😘😘😘😘🇨🇦
You’re so kind, thank you for your kind words and great feedback. Appreciate it!
I am going to make this tonight and was wondering if Panko bread crumbs would work ok? Maybe add some garlic and onion powder to get the “Italian” flavor?
Hi Anastasia, I think that would still work fine to use Panko crumbs, but yes I would add a little more seasoning.
What kind of oil is good cooking oil? What type do you recommend? Olive, canola, vegetable?
Hi Priscilla, any of those you mentioned are all good cooking oil.
Make this tonight. I am not a cook! My daughter loved it!! So enjoy all your recipes and videos.
That’s so great Eileen! Thank you for that feedback!
Hi Natasha I was wondering where you Purchase your cool wear & cooking Utensils?
Hello Sherry. Here’s where you can see the kitchen utensils that I usually use.
I made this recepie it was delicious.
Isn’t the flavor amazing!
One of our absolute favorite dinners! A total mom win when the whole family enjoys it and eats it without a fuss. Thank you!
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review Jen!
Thank you so much for the great recipe my family loved it.
You are so welcome! So great to hear that and I hope they love all the other recipes that you will try.
This is such a wonderful recipe!
Made it for the family and it was a hit!
Sounds like you found a new family favorite Katie! Thank you for that awesome review.
Trying tomorrow. Is 499 calories per serving or for the whole recipe?
Hi Julie, that is per serving. You can take that down quite a bit by reducing the cheese if you were wanting to lower the calories per serving. The marinara adds to that as well so you could always use less of it.
Chicken Parm is my FAV and your recipe is the one I always turn to! Thank you!
You’re welcome, Katie! I’m so glad you enjoyed that!
Ok….this looks fabulous…can’t wait to try it.
Also….where is your white pan from (checked under “shop”, but couldn’t find it)
Hi Tammy, that casserole dish is from Fred Meyer and I haven’t been able to find it online. The closest one I’ve found online is this one.
Natasha, this recipe was delicious. I made this tonight, for Valentines Day and my bf loved it. Thank you.
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you both enjoyed that Paulina! Thank you for the wonderful review.
Natasha where have you been all my life. You have inspired me to cook I am 66 years old….and never had the rewarding results of cooking. I am ready to start cooking 4/3/20 retirement dateChicken Marsala will be my first. Love You Stay Fabulous PS: I have 3 sisters
I hope you love this recipe, Jeanne! I love that you have 3 sisters, isn’t it the best to have best friends around all the time! I’m smiling big reading your comment.
My family LOVED this chicken parm! My picky three year old and even pickier husband both had seconds! Thank you so much for this tasty dish, we’ll be making it again and again. <3
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new Family favorite, Rebecca
Hi Natasha, I made this the other nite and it was amazing, so flavorful, I used chicken tenders cause I had a large pkg in freezer of them and OMG!! And made your meatloaf again too, so so yummy!! Thankyou for all that you do, you are wonderful!!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us, Mary!
Hello Natasha, this dish looks amazing, I could almost smell it lol. I was wondering if you used marinara sauce from a jar or homemade? Thank you
Hi Letty, we used Ragu jar marinara for this quick recipe. We have a photo of it in the post. I hope that helps.
If you can find Rao’s Marinara, it is simply magnificent. Pricey at $8/24oz jar – but well worth it for this fabulous dish. Rao’s is just like the sauce we used to find in NY restaurants.
Thank you so much, I will try that. Just have too find where they sell it lol
Vincent thank you so much for recommending the Rao’s Marinara sauce. It is a great sauce, I loved it. It was pricey but worth it. Even my husband asked me if I did something different, because the dish tasted way better than other times lol
So glad you enjoyed Rao’s, Letty. It is Buon Appetit magazine’s jarred sauce of choice. Occasionally, it is on sale at Whole Foods for $4.99 or so.
We think Victoria’s Brand tastes like homemade.
I loved this recipe! Only I cooked the chicken on the oven only due to my husband”s health. Very very good!!!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us, Connie!
When I used flour/egg/bread crumbs, the breading would slide off – and it’s rather unpleasant. Then I skipped the flour and used only egg and breadcrumbs – this achieved a much better result for me. Do you know what was I might have been doing wrong with the flour? Thank you for your great recipes.
Hi Vincent, I’d be happy to trouble shoot with you! Pat the chicken dry before dredging in flour and then dipping in egg. The only other suggestion would be to make sure your chicken is well coated in both the flour and then the egg before breading. I’m so glad you liked it
I made this for dinner yesterday. It was so AMAZING! It was tender and juicy…and so easy to make! It’s a keeper for me. Thanks for the amazing recipes!
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Katie! Thank you for that awesome feedback.
Oh my God! My daughter just had a second serving of this chicken! Usually she eats homemade chicken dishes extremely rarely. She even asked me to put it into her lunchbox tomorrow! Thank you
Isn’t that the best when kids love what we moms make? That’s so great, Olga!
I made this dish the other night. This was so tasty and amazing. I’m definitely making this again! Yummmmmm
That’s just awesome!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Krystal!
This is a family favorite now in my house! We love it!
That’s so great Krissy!! Thank you for that awesome review!
Love this! Chicken Parmesan is such a classic recipe and this was just that! Loved how easy it was to make and it was loved by the whole family.
Sounds like you found a new family favorite, Julie!
Oh, chicken parm is one of my favorites! I can’t wait to try your recipe!
I hope you love it Katie!
yummy recipe. thank you
If I want to prepare the meal but want to fry later in the day, can i coat the chickens and then put them in the fridge until ready to fry or will it become more difficult?
Hi, that will work to bread in advance, cover and refrigerate then fry later in the day.
awesome recipe, my ENTIRE family loved it. Will be making it again.
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
Hi, i haven’t cooked the dish yet. But i wanted to ask if i can use frozen chicken breasts and just thaw it? I’m very excited to cook this dish, it looks delicious!! Love all your recipes by the way!
Hi Monica, If I’m understanding correctly. Do you want to thaw the breast before following the recipe instructions? If so, then yes that is the perfect way to do that. You would want the chicken to be thawed all the way through 🙂 Enjoy!
This was so good and fun to make too!
That’s so great Debbie! Don’t you love it when cooking is fun!? I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Amazing!! Instead of ragu I used Victoria’s marinara sauce for a spicier kick!
Great tip Stacia, thanks for sharing!
Hi I just wondering how it taste on the second day!
Hi Sveta, I think these are best fresh on day 1 but leftovers do reheat well. I have always found breaded chicken to reheat the best – it doesn’t have that reheated chicken taste if you know what I mean 🙂
Hi I’m kinda new to cooking. I tried the recipe. But when I was frying the chicken, the breading part of the chicken burned and stuck to the pan and came off the chicken. I was left with just the white meat. It all still tasted delicious, but I’m wondering what I did wrong. I used a stainless steel pan on medium heat, with just enough oil to coat the bottom. Any suggestions on what I can do different to make mine look like ur golden brown chicken pieces? Which again, tasted delicious 😋
Hi Mags, it’s easiest to use a non-stick pan but if prefer stainless steel, I would recommend checking out this amazing tip on how to keep the stainless steel pans non-stick.
Oooh would love to try this recipe… Is there an option to cook it without using any egg due to an intolerance to it?
Hi Laura, use buttermilk as a substitute for drenching the chicken. Thank you for visiting our site 😀
Followed the recipe exactly except for Parmesan cheese…didn’t have quite a cup..
It was fantastic!!
I’m glad you enjoy the recipe! Thanks so much for sharing!
Do you have to use Italian breadcrumbs?
A different kind of bread crumb would still work.
Such a delicious meal! Thank you Natasha for all your wonderful recipes. They have given me so much confidence in the kitchen. God bless you and your family❤️
Awww I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing that with me and thank you for the amazing review! 🙂
How much spaghetti for this receipe approx?
I guess it depends on how many people you’re serving. For six servings I would probably cook 3/4 lb to 1 pound of spaghetti.
Simply delicious!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review!
Made this tonight and it was delicious. My breading didn’t quite stick to the chicken. It kind of slide off as we cut into it. Any suggestions?
Hi Karen, pat the chicken dry before dredging in flour and then dipping in egg. The only other suggestion would be to make sure your chicken is well coated in both the flour and then the egg before breading. I’m so glad you liked it 🙂
I tried this recipe with ranch instead of Ragu and it was delicious!! I used the Gregg’s ranch from Costco and it tasted so much better. Thanks for the recipe!
I love that idea! Thank you so much for sharing that with us!
Hi Natasha, I made this dish last night, it was delicious!!! Thank you again for all your wonderful recipes, What is your secret to stay in shape with all these fabulous meals? 🙂
Currently – breastfeeding! 😉 I have been working on eating less sugar and processed foods and it has helped the post baby weight come off faster 🙂
You look great! Should try your tips 🙂
Can you share your diet you eat during the day that helped the post baby weight? Wouild love to hear tips
Hi Mel, I wish I had a secret to share but honest, I didn’t do anything beyond breastfeeding and mostly eating in (cooking at home). I started jogging about 1 year after my baby girl was born :-O That’s when I finally felt like I had the energy to do it, but honestly once I started jogging in the mornings, I feel like I have so much more energy for my kids and life in general. 🙂
I got too much chicken ( I didn’t realize that you have to cut in half when I bought the chicken) and was wondering when in this process would be best to freeze it to make again later? I have them all coated and in the fridge, do you recommend pan frying it first and then freezing or freezing while they are still raw? Thanks
Do you mean you’ve allready breaded the chicken? If you’ve breaded the chicken, I think it would be best if you fry it first then freeze it but you’ll just need to bake it longer since it will go into the oven frozen. I think if you froze breaded un-fried chicken, it might be harder to fry later as the breading might get too moist once it’s thawed to saute it properly.
Hi Natasha! So I tried it both ways, one batch I sauteed the chicken, cooled it and froze it. When I was ready to cook it, I took the chicken directly out of the freezer and placed it in the oven covered by the sauce. This method left the chicken a tad dry, from freezing and cooking it again. Another batch I froze without sauteing it first (so pretty much raw chicken breaded) and froze it by wrapping individual pieces in wax paper so the chicken would not get stuck all together. Then when I was ready to cook it, I “deep fried” it in 3 inches of oil in a pan until it was golden on both sides( flipping it so both sides get golden), then I continued with recipe, but I used a thermometer this time to make sure that I would not overcook the chicken. It was much better this route. The chicken was not dry and the crust on it very crispy. I would completely recommend this for people who work and have to have some freezer meals available for faster cooking later (that’s me!). I also used this method for making chicken tenders, so freeze raw panko encrusted chicken and then “deep fry ” and bake. So much better than store bought frozen chicken tenders. Anyways, love all your recipes, so glad this blog exists!
That is so helpful! Thank you so much for sharing your advice on making this freezer friendly!! 🙂
Can I use chicken thighs for this recipe? I don’t have any chicken breast on hand…
That should work fine just make sure to trim them really well of extra fat. It will still be just as if not even more delicious (I’m a chicken thigh lover myself) 😉
I just made this! It was scrumptious!!!
Yay!! I’m happy you discovered it. It’s one of our favorite chicken recipes. So easy and tasty! 🙂 Thanks Marina.
I want to try this but I don’t have parmesan cheese. I only have the parmesan cheese in the bottle. Can I use that instead?
Yes! That would work just fine. You might use slightly less but it will still taste really good!
I found your blog just recently and I can’t find words to describe how incredible it is! I already tried 4-5 of your recipes and they are all amazing! Thanks to your blog and your easy to follow recipes my husband now calls me the queen of the kitchen! 😀 Anyway sorry for the very loooong comment but I just had to say it. 🙂 All the best!
P.S. I cooked the chicken parm last night and my family liked it so much that they are making me do it again tonight! 😀
Awww that’s fantastic! Queen of the kitchen is a very good reputation to have 😉
This recipe is delicious I usually do without the cheese. But with the cheese is even more yummier. Thank you!
I’m a sucker for anything with melted cheese. 🙂
I never realized how easy this was to make until now. It’s great to have a restaurant quality meal at home.
Isn’t it so easy! Thank you for the great review, Mallory!
Made this for lunch today and everyone loved it. I was surprised and loved how it was so quick and easy to make. Thanks for the great recipe 🙂
Yuliya, thank you for the great review and you are welcome :).
Looking forward to making this 😀
I hope you love it as much as we do. It’s truly delicious! 🙂
Natasha, thank you for another great recipe! Question: can I substitute Ragu with Tomato Basil Marinara? Thank you:)
Aly, Tomato Basil Marinara would work just fine and you are welcome :).
I love Chicken Parmesan, one of my favorite quick dinner meals 🙂 I need to check if my site is mobile friendly.. I sure hope so because I wouldn’t know where to start 🙁
I had no idea where to start too; had to hire someone! It’s still under construction but I’m hoping the bulk of it will be done today :).
Natasha, I don’t know what you did to the formatting of your site, but I don’t like it:( the recipes come up weird on my phone, in super long stretchy columns. Maybe no one else is having this issue? I’m sorry.
Hi Alena, Google has new requirements to make websites mobile friendly. Our mobile site is currently under construction. Hopefully it will look nice and be easy to navigate soon. Sorry for the inconvenience 🙁
Oh gosh this looks so mouthwatering… And i am already stuffed from lunch haha! I do have one question to ask.. Is there a homemade recipe for the sauce? I dont like buying premade.. (I might be weird haha) i just like fresh! Hope there can be one in the future
It really is so delicious! I do have a homemade marinara posted on my site: https://natashaskitchen.com/2014/06/05/mushroom-marinara-sauce-recipe/. If you want the recipe to be really fast and easy, you can always use a store bought organic marinara in a glass jar. 🙂
Yum! Can’t wait to try this! Can you use chicken tenderloins instead of chicken breast?
Yes, tenderloins would work and you wouldn’t even have to slice them in half 🙂
Would chicken tenders work for this recipe? Don’t feel like going to grocery store 😀
Yes, they should work just fine and no need to slice them! 🙂
We are big chicken Parm eaters here and really enjoy experimenting with new recipes. Definitely going to show this recipe to my wife for some serious teamwork. She does the cooking. I do the pounding and work with the raw chicken meat, which she says is super icky. But teamwork gets it done!
I think that’s the best way to cook; teamwork! 🙂 This chicken parm is even easier; no pounding required!
Chicken parm is hard to beat. I love how simple it is! I’m also addicted to pasta so that makes this perfect for me!
It really is hard to beat! One of those dishes that you make once and then over and over again 🙂
Love the cutie taste testing this! Looks delicious
Thank you! Isn’t he the sweetest? He gives such nice compliments when he loves something I make 🙂
