This recipe for a classic Chicken Parmesan is absolute perfection. You’ll want to be sure to use thin chicken breasts for this. If the chicken breasts you purchase are not already thin (which so many are nowadays), use a mallet to pound out your chicken to an even thickness that’s on the thinner side.
Chicken Parmesan is made using a combination of mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Mozzarella provides the ooey gooey melted cheese factor, while parmesan adds a lot of flavor. For best results use both fresh mozzarella cheese and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
