I never order chicken parm at restaurants because it is the worlds easiest recipe to make at home. I prefer ordering food that is complex to make at home. Without a doubt, this is one of the best chicken parm I’ve ever had. Why? Because it’s simple, seasoned well with salt and pepper, super crispy, very cheesy, and not overcooked. An overcooked piece of chicken turns dry. Nobody wants that.
I also prefer white meat for chicken parm. Tender, juicy, crispy, and cheesy. Kind of saucy. Oh, and spaghetti is a must here 🙂

What is the best Marinara to use for this recipe?
I like Rao’s sauce a lot. You may use a vodka sauce or a traditional tomato marinara.
