Chicken Parmesan — or Chicken Parm — is a beloved Italian-American dish made from breaded chicken breast, topped with marinara sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese, then baked until golden and bubbling. It’s commonly served over spaghetti or inside a hero sandwich, making it a staple of casual Italian-American dining across the country.

The dish originated in New York City, where early 20th-century Italian immigrants adapted traditional Eggplant Parmigiana into a more protein-rich version using accessible chicken. It quickly became popular throughout the Northeast U.S., especially in New York and New Jersey, before spreading nationwide.
