Cultural Context

Chicken Parmesan, or 'Pollo alla Parmigiana', hails from Southern Italy and is traditionally served as a hearty main dish. The casserole version combines the classic flavors of chicken, marinara, and cheese in a comforting baked format, making it a popular choice for family meals and gatherings. Today, variations abound, with many incorporating different cheeses or adding vegetables, showcasing its adaptability.

3/4 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
1/2 tsp dried basil

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Pecorino can be cheaper and offers a similar salty flavor.

🥗Healthier: panko breadcrumbs

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Crushed crackers can provide a similar texture at a lower cost.

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often cheaper and works well for cooking.

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2

Prepare the baking dish and grease it lightly so the chicken will not stick to the pan. Lay out the shredded cooked chicken in the pan then spread the marinara sauce all over.

3

Dredge the top with some red pepper flakes, parmesan, and mozzarella. Finally, sprinkle bacon and dried basil for more flavor.

4

Put in the pre-heated oven and bake for 25 minutes. Remove once the cheese has melted and formed bubbles.
