This was a really good chicken parm. The chicken was juicy, and the breading stayed nice and crispy. I would definitely make this again. Next time, I'll try adding some garlic to the breadcrumb mixture.

Riley Lewis2

The chicken was overcooked and dry. The sauce tasted like it was straight out of a jar. I followed the recipe as written, but it didn't turn out well.

Olivia Thompson3

It was alright. The chicken was a bit bland, and I felt the breading could have used more seasoning. The sauce was okay.

Quinn Clark4

Very good chicken parm! The sear on the chicken before baking really makes a difference. The breading was nice and crispy. I’ll make this again for sure.

Very good! The crispy crust on the chicken was a highlight. I would suggest using fresh mozzarella for a creamier texture. Otherwise, a fantastic recipe.
