Chicken Parmigiana
Chicken Parmigiana
Chicken Parmigiana, also known as "Chicken Parma" or "Chicken Parmi" in local slang, is a popular pub-style dish in Australia. It has its own unique twist compared to the traditional Italian-American version. In Australia, a typical Chicken Parmigiana consists of a breaded and fried chicken schnitzel topped with tomato sauce, melted cheese (such as mozzarella or tasty cheese), and sometimes even a slice of ham. It's commonly served with a side of crispy chips (fries) and a fresh salad.
