Much easier and lighter than the traditional version, this dish gets its flavor from fresh herbs, especially the rosemary. Brushing the chicken with herb oil instead of bread crumbs gives the chicken richness and a golden brown color.

If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use a mix of Dario's Tuscan salt blend and fragrant dried Oregano!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

  2. In a small bowl, stir the oil, thyme, rosemary, and parsley together to blend. Brush both sides of the cutlets with the herb oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a large, heavy ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add the cutlets and cook just until browned, about 1 minute per side. Remove from the heat.
  4. Spoon the marinara sauce over and around the cutlets. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of mozzarella over each cutlet, then sprinkle each with 2 teaspoons of Parmesan. Dot the tops with the butter pieces, and bake until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.

    Five stars! (there is no way to rate via stars that I can see…) I remember this recipe from Everyday Italian (still Giada’s best show!), and have been making chicken parm this way ever since! The herbs make this so flavorful! I serve this with onion roasted potatoes and a green vegetable.

    Absolutely amazing. I saw this recipe on a TMZ segment where Giada joined a Zoom call. I immediately turned to this recipe instead of the one I had planned. So freaking tasty!! This is on our menu from here on out.
