I know this meal is a quick one, but I have a quick story to tell.  If you don’t have time just skip to the end of the page and your printable recipe will be at the end. See you later.

CHICKEN PARMESAN LOVE STORY...LOL

I should name this recipe, “Win a Man’s Heart”! Let me tell you why! When I first met my husband in college, he asked me out on a date and of course I agreed to the date. However, as luck would have it, he called and let me know that he had to go into work early so we would have to reschedule our date.  Oh no my friend, he wasn’t getting off that easily. A sister can cook and that’s just what I offered him- a home cooked meal.   I told him if he would like to come over after work, I could have something cooked for him! He was so impressed. He was like, “girl you can’t cook!” and I replied, “Do you want to bet?” I was so nervous and started to doubt myself.  Did I just really tell this dude that I would cook for him? Yes, yes, I did!  OMG what can I cook? I then recalled one of our late-night conversations and his love for Olive Garden.  Chicken Parmesan it is!

I rushed to the store and got all the ingredients I needed to prepare the meal.   Finally, the food was done but would it taste good? I almost called everyone in my apartment complex to taste a little piece of my chicken. I’m telling no lie, I did LOL. They told me it was good, so I took their word.

I finished with the taste testers right before he arrived and let me say the chicken was not the only thing that looked cute LOL.  He was so excited about the meal and even went back for seconds.  He accused me of ordering takeout as well!  Well, that was a compliment to the chef.

They say a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. I guess it’s true because I was his girlfriend and then his wife in a matter of a year LOL. Enough of my stories, let’s get back to the recipe.

How to make easy chicken Parmesan

Step1: Preparing Chicken

The first thing I do is make sure I take my chicken breast out before I get my day started. This ensures that my chicken is properly thawed and ready to be seasoned when I get home from a busy day.  

Season chicken with pepper and salt.

Step 2: Making Chicken Breading

Gather all your ingredients: flour, Italian breadcrumbs, seasoning, and eggs. This way once I get the grease ready, I can have the perfect fried Parmesan chicken.

 Place chicken breast into flour

Then place into eggs (make sure to mix eggs)

Then place chicken into Italian breadcrumbs

Step 3: Frying Chicken

Now that you have your chicken breaded place in hot grease for 3- 4 minutes on each side. Don’t fry for too long because you will be placing in the oven for 15-20 minutes later

Step 4: Marinara Sauce

Place 1 jar of store bought marinara sauce in pot along with parsley leaves, mozzarella cheese, sugar in pot and stir. Let cook for 5 minutes or until boiling. Then place sauce on top of chicken parmesan. Not too much. Add parmesan cheese on top

Step 5: Bake

Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes. You will want dessert after this meal. Try my quick and easy cheesecake!
