Chicken Parmesan and Zoodles

I love this recipe because it's so simple and incredibly delicious. And there are so many variations you can do to keep it interesting, I don't think that I'll ever be bored of it.

Chicken Parmesan is traditionally served over spaghetti noodles but this time I made my first ever batch of zoodles (zucchini noodles). My husband and I love pasta and we (arguably) eat too much of it. So I thought I'd give zoodles a try. I got the KitchenAid attachment as a gift and am so excited that it's easy to use and so versatile.


Turns out, zoodles = awesome! They added a nutty-ness to the chicken parm that I didn't realize I was missing by serving it over spaghetti noodles. And that zoodles are quicker to make than spaghetti noodles is just a win-win for me.

Another thing I love about this meal is how few dishes I use to make it. Everything for the chicken is done is my 9x13 in stone pan.

Place 3 large chicken breasts in pan

Cover in marinara sauce

Cover in provolone cheese

Sprinkle with bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese

I hope you enjoy my Chicken Parm recipe! Let me know if you have a variation that you enjoy!
