Chicken Parmesan, also known as Chicken Parmigiana, is a classic Italian-American dish that has become a staple in many households and restaurants. This delectable dish consists of breaded and fried chicken cutlets smothered in marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese, then typically served over a bed of pasta. The origins of Chicken Parmesan can be traced back to Italian immigrants in the United States, particularly in the New York and New Jersey regions. Today, it is a beloved comfort food enjoyed across the country. For an extra cheesy twist, some chefs add additional Parmesan or provolone cheese to enhance the richness of the dish. One renowned variation is the "eggplant Parmesan," which substitutes the chicken with breaded and fried eggplant slices, appealing to vegetarians and eggplant enthusiasts. For the best Chicken Parmesan experience, seek out authentic Italian restaurants or family-owned eateries known for their traditional recipes and generous cheese portions. Whether you're a cheese aficionado or simply appreciate a hearty, flavorful meal, Chicken Parmesan with extra cheese is sure to satisfy your cravings.
