Baked Chicken Parmigiano so good and cheesy the perfect Company is Coming or Family Dinner Recipe. This Chicken Parmesan will become your family’s favourite recipe. 

Baked Chicken Parmigiano, an easy, delicious baked chicken casserole recipe. A perfect  comfort food dinner for family or guests.  The best!Baked Chicken Parmigiano

has to be one of my favourite dishes, seriously. Do you ever make one of your favourite dishes and it is so freaking good that you always say to yourself,   “why don’t I make this more often”?

Well this is my why-don’t-I-make-it-more-often recipes.I can remember whenever I went out with my friends in Canada for dinner,  Baked Chicken Parmigiano was usually what I ordered.

I adore it. Although in Canada it is usually served with pasta, I served it separate,  because in Italy pasta is considered a primo piatto (first plate) and Meat or Fish secondo piatto (second plate),  

although, yeah this would have been amazing served with Pasta. Maybe next time.

I also learned from my Mom that the best coating for pretty well anything are crushed crackers, instead of bread crumbs.

Although bread crumbs work well also. Remember though if you use salted crackers, cut back on the extra salt.

        Hi Lyn, glad you enjoyed it. I don’t see why not, just keep it refrigerated, (remove it 15-20 before baking). 🙂

      Just looking at your pictures makes my mouth water!! Will have to make this VERY SOON! I have never used crushed saltines instead of breadcrumbs. Very interesting. Can’t wait to try this! I subscribed again, but it told me I was already subscribed to Mail Chimp. Don’t know how—but that’s my story!

      Mmm… what a cheese goodness Rose! This is one of our all time favorite Italian dishes and every time we are in Italy we are ordering it for at least 2-3 times. Just love that you used Mozzarella and Parmesan on top 🙂
