Skillet Chicken Parmesan

Skillet chicken parmesan recipe is an easy dinner recipe that's ready in less than 30 minutes. This is a lighter, healthier chicken parmesan recipe.

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.

How to make chicken parmesan without breadcrumbs

This skillet chicken parmesan recipe gets rid of the crispy breadcrumb coating. Instead, a light coating of flour is used to help with the browning.

This makes the recipe lighter, 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!

What to serve with chicken parmesan

This chicken parmesan is delicious served over pasta. I like to serve a green salad and garlic knots alongside the chicken.
