    This easy recipe for one pan chicken parmesan has this family favorite supper cooking up in one skillet for a delicious dinner with easy clean-up!

    One Pan Chicken Parmesan on a plate with a side salad.

    I do love a good chicken parm and while some days I am fine waiting for that to cook up, sometimes I want my chicken parm NOW.

    And that is where this simple, scrumptious recipe for one pan chicken parmesan comes in.

    As you can tell from the title, not only do you get this family favorite supper on your plate, but it cooks up in one pan and it is ready in under 30 minutes.  How delicious is THAT?

    Here’s how you make this recipe

    Grab your favorite heavy skillet (cast iron if you have one) and toast up some bread crumbs in a little olive oil.

    We are going to sprinkle these over the chicken at the very end, which I love to do instead of breading the chicken.  It gives a delightful crunch!

    Next, add some red wine and chopped tomatoes to that same skillet, simmer for a little while and then add the chicken and simmer some more.

    When the chicken is done, scatter on some mozzarella, cover the skillet for about 5 minutes until everything is gloriously melty.

    OH YES.

    Now mix some parmesan cheese and oregano into those toasted breadcrumbs.  Pop the chicken onto plates with a generous amount of sauce, sprinkle liberally with the breadcrumbs and serve it up!

      This came out amazing! Love how melty the cheese was after covering it with the lid. Fantastic!

        Isn’t melty cheese the best? So happy you liked this one!

      Thought it was great. My husband made me promise to make it again!
      Only change I might make us throw the diced tomatoes into the blender for a few seconds.
      Thanks for being so creative and not taking a lot of time and needing wads of items not necessarily on hand.

        Judy, thank you so much – this made my day! And a great suggestion for those folks who want a smoother sauce. Happy cooking! :)

      Yesterday I made your zucchini fritters. My daughter and husband are in Jamaica so Iโ€™m babysitting my grand daughters 8 and 10. You will be doing this someday as well…lol
      They loved them but of course being Italian I had to add some grated cheese. I have no idea how much just used a handful and added another egg because of the cheese.
      Just Delicious!

        I can’t wait to be the babysitter! And I love your cheese addition to the fritters – I did that with my cauliflower fritters recipe that is up on the site and it was all kinds of good. Happy weekend!! :)

      Iโ€™m in! Brilliant of you to sprinkle finished dish with the bread crumbs. Mine never seem to stick to the chicken all the way when doing the breading and frying. And red wine in the sauce means there should be some to have in a glass with dinner! ?

        I have the exact same issue with bread crumbs! And OH YES on the red wine. :) :)
