Substitutions and Tips for this Chicken Parmesan Recipe
- Save time with this dish by using a store-bought marinara like Rao’s.
- Fresh mozzarella is ALMOST always recommended but shredded will work just fine for this recipe.
- Skip the pasta if you are wanting something healthier and pair it with zoodles or spaghetti squash.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for a few days.
- Reheat by placing in the oven to crisp up or place it in the air fryer….. PLEASE skip the microwave if possible.
- Swap Panko Bread crumbs for the Italian style bread crumbs for a bit more crunch.
What to Serve with Chicken Parmesan?
- Grilled Romaine Salad or Caesar Salad – I’m partial to grilled romaine
- Pasta – I would suggest spaghetti, fettuccine, or angel hair
- French Bread or Texas Toast
- Steamed broccoli or broccoli rabe
- A glass of wine!
