For a comforting and flavorful meal, ready in just 30 minutes- this stovetop chicken parmesan is what’s for dinner tonight!
1. Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken breasts to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown on each side. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Next, reduce the heat to medium-low. Then, pour or spoon in the marinara sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
3. Remove the chicken from the pot and allow to cool for a few minutes. Then, use two forks to shred the chicken or slice with a knife. Add the chicken back to the pot and stir with the marinara sauce.
4. When serving, top the chicken with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
5. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve your stovetop chicken Parmesan with a side of pasta, a green salad, or some crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce.
