Chef's Notes

For extra crispy crust, let the breaded chicken rest for 10 minutes before frying to help the coating adhere better.

Use freshly grated Parmesan for both the crust and sauce for superior flavor and melting quality.

Serving Suggestions

Serve over buttered pasta, creamy mashed potatoes, or alongside roasted vegetables. A crisp green salad with lemon vinaigrette balances the richness perfectly.
