This is so simple & tasty. Truthfully, & I don't know why, but this is the 1st time I have ever made Chicken Parm. I did add some sliced mushrooms & onions (sauteed) & then shoveled it all in the oven @350 x25 min & then turned the heat up to 385 x15 min when I added the fresh mozz. It was sooo good & the chicken was soo tender. Served w/spaghetti, fresh green beans & garlic bread sticks. Thank you for sharing. -
I have used this recipe with a few changes for a freezer meal. It works out great! My whole family enjoys it along with all the people I've shared it with! 5 Stars!! -
Easy and delicious!! I used linguine instead of the angel hair pasta, and I used freshly shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks Marg for posting this recipe. -
Easy and super good; it probably was extra good because I used butter! I think the taste of the dish depends on your spaghetti sauce. This dished impressed me!!!

This was fab. It would be a great dinner party dish for an informal night with friends because it has a great presentation and if you get the ingredients laid out beforehand it comes together in a flash. I made a few changes to reflect what I had on hand, but I don't think they affected the dish significantly. I marinated the chicken in a bit of lemon juice, salt and pepper for about 20 minutes. I also used cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella and lightly sauteed spring onions instead of parsley on top. For the breadcrumbs, I made my own using fresh bread, whizzed in a food processor and toasted in the oven. I think the total dish as written here would make quite a lot, maybe enough for 5-8 people depending if you serve with a salad and bread or not. I only had 1 chicken breast (admittedly it was a big one -- 250g) and used 5oz pasta and that was plenty for 2, with pasta left over.
