The Tale of One-Pan Chicken Parmesan Skillet
Story updated
Chicken Parmesan descends from Italian dishes like eggplant parmigiana, adapted by Italian immigrants in America using breaded, fried chicken cutlets topped with tomato sauce and cheese. The skillet version simplifies the traditional breaded-and-baked preparation.

Scale:· 4 servings
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
