Restaurant-Quality GF Chicken Parm at Home
Chicken parmesan is one of those dishes that seems impossible to make GF — the breading is the whole point. But with the right technique and GF breadcrumbs, you can make a version that's every bit as crispy and delicious as the original.
The key? Double-coat for extra crunch and pan-fry before baking for the crispiest result.
