Mary Ann’s Quick Skillet Chicken Parmesan

For a faster, one-pan version, try this skillet method:

  1. Heat 1–2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet.

  2. Bread chicken as above, then fry for 3–4 minutes per side.

  3. Pour marinara over chicken in the same skillet, sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan.

  4. Cover and simmer 10 minutes until cheese melts and chicken is cooked through.

  5. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve directly from the skillet.

Tips & Tricks from Mary Ann

  • Even Thickness: Pound chicken for uniform cooking.

  • Extra Crunch: Use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular.

  • Juicy Chicken: Let it rest 5 minutes before serving.

  • Sauce Hack: Add a pinch of sugar to store-bought marinara to balance acidity.

Variations to Try

  • Spicy Chicken Parmesan: Add crushed red pepper to breadcrumbs.

  • Low-Carb Version: Swap breadcrumbs for almond flour or crushed pork rinds.

  • Cheese Lovers’ Version: Mix mozzarella and provolone for extra gooey goodness.

  • Chicken Parmesan Sandwich: Serve in a toasted hoagie roll with extra marinara.
