Chicken parmesan is one of my favorite chicken dinners. I love the combination of the sauce and cheese with the chicken.

I’ve always preferred my chicken parm baked, not fried. I don’t like the chicken to be too crispy, and it’s also a little healthier when it’s baked.

This skillet chicken parmesan recipe takes things even one step farther by getting rid of the crispy coating and just using a light coating of flour to help with the browning. This makes the recipe faster and easier.

The resulting chicken parmesan still has all of the saucy, cheesy goodness, but it can be made in less than 30 minutes. All of which makes it a lighter, easier weeknight dinner that’s still super tasty!
