Most chicken parmesan recipes take tons of effort and a lot longer to prepare. I am so glad that this chicken parmesan recipe is so much easier than that. It tastes like it’s been cooking for a long time, and the seasonings have married beautifully. But in reality, you can easily throw this meal together at the last minute and its perfection.
I love this easy chicken parmesan for many reasons, but the fact that it’s satisfying and delicious are my top reasons. The chicken parm keeps you full and goes lovely with veggies, salads, or even bread.

HOW DO YOU STORE LEFTOVER CHICKEN PARMESAN?
If you end up with leftover chicken parmesan, you can easily save them. Store the chicken in an airtight container and place it in the fridge for up to 4 days. This is a wonderful chicken recipe for meal prepping.
Additionally, you can freeze the baked chicken parmesan too. Again, you will want to store it in a container that is airtight. It will last up to 2 months in the freezer.
To heat up the chicken, you will need to thaw the chicken in the fridge overnight or until it’s defrosted. Then you can warm it in the oven at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until it’s hot. You can also put the breaded chicken parmesan in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until hot. It warms up fairly quickly, so make sure not to heat it for too long.
