Skillet Chicken Parm

Submitted by goushiangirl

"I love this recipe because it's SO delicious and super easy to make. My family loves it, too! Great served with caesar salad and garlic bread. I usually have half of the sauce left over. I either freeze it, or cook up extra chicken for leftovers, but the chicken does lose some of its crispiness on the second day. NOTE: One of my favorite things about this recipe is the crispiness of the chicken. I usually use twice the oil that the recipe calls for, maybe even more. I just keep an eye on it, and add more as needed."

Great recipe! Full of flavor and easy to put together. I used turkey tenderloins instead of chicken breast and kept everything else the same. Thank you for a great recipe.

Loved this recipe. The sauce was really good and was fresh tasting. <br/>I sauteed the chicken first, and then put them aside. I then made the sauce in the same pan, then added the chicken and melted the cheese under the broiler on low. <br/>Thanks for sharing MtnMel
