Easy Skillet Chicken Parmesan

Skip To RecipePrint Recipe

This post is sponsored by Wolf Gourmet who gifted me with a set of their pots and pans to try out. I used them to make a simple skillet chicken parmesan which is an easy weeknight dinner idea!

If you were to poke around my kitchen cabinets, you would find a ragtag bunch of pots and pans. All shapes and sizes, some non-stick, some made of stainless steel, and some with copper outsides. Some with glass lids, metal lids, or lids that have gone missing over the years. I use most of them all the time and they’ve got the battle scars to prove it.

So when Wolf Gourmet asked if I would review their 10-piece cookware set I was happy to do so – as someone who’s owned several different cookware sets over the years I figured I’d have something to say.

What Comes In the Box

3.5-quart saute pan with lid

11.5-inch skillet

8.5-inch skillet

6-quart round Dutch oven with lid

3-quart saucepan with lid

2-quart saucier with lid

What’s Great

Out of the box, I was impressed. The pots and pans have a nice weighty-ness to them without being cumbersome. You can tell just by holding them that they are well constructed of quality materials. The handles are sturdy, the lids fit perfectly, and holding the largest skillet in my hand just felt right.

I gave them a test run in the kitchen and, as someone who likes to move pans on and off burners or to and from the oven, I had no problem lifting and shifting them around. They’re oven safe up to 500 degrees, so finishing off a dish under the broiler, like this skillet chicken parmesan, is no problem.

I like the beveled sides because they prevent sticking and burning. There’s nothing worse than a burnt pan that requires hours of soaking and scrubbing to get clean.

The 7-ply construction means all the stuff inside (layers of aluminum and stainless steel) promotes even cooking temperature, which makes cooking a whole lot easier and predictable.

Some Things to Consider

The set doesn’t come with a stock pot, but the Dutch oven piece is large enough to handle decent sized batches of soups, stews, chili, and sauces. I used it to boil the pasta for the chicken parmesan and it was plenty big enough for four servings.

This set is definitely an investment, but its durability and construction means it should last many years. The set comes with a limited lifetime warranty, so be sure to check out more details on the Wolf Gourmet and Bloomingdales websites.

Description

Easy chicken parmesan made on the stove top in one skillet.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces penne
  • 2 tablespoons of flour, seasoned with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons store-bought breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 thin sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts, seasoned on both sides with salt and pepper (see note)
  • 1/2 cup store-bought jarred tomato sauce (I used Rao’s)
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Cook the penne according to package directions.
  2. First, set up the breading station for the chicken breasts. Place the seasoned flour in one shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and panko in another shallow dish, and lightly beat the egg with a fork in a third shallow dish.
  3. Lightly coat each chicken breast with the flour, then dunk it in the beaten egg (let any excess egg drip off), and then coat it in the bread crumb and panko. Repeat with each chicken breast.
  4. In a large skillet (I used a 11 1/2 inch one), heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet in one layer and cook for several minutes on each side until cooked through.
  5. Top each chicken breast with tomato sauce and cheese slices. Turn the oven on broil and transfer the skillet to the oven. Let it sit under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese has melted and starts to bubble.
  6. Serve the chicken parmesan over the penne and garnish with parsley.

Notes

I bought pre-sliced chicken breasts, but if you can’t find them buy regular boneless skinless chicken breasts and slice them horizontally in half. You want them about 1/4 inch thick, so pound them out thin with a mallet or rolling pin, if needed.

    Wow, it’s been ages since we’ve made chicken parm. Usually we gravitate toward chicken thighs and legs, so I’d love to give your recipe a go swapping in garden fresh eggplant for the chicken. Thanks, and cheers!

    Hi April,

    I made the easy skillet chicken parm for my parents the other night and oh baby, did they love it. Your recipes aren’t only thing I’m drooling over – your photographs are fantastic as well and remind me of the likes of Bon Appetite and Food & Wine mag. Keep up the great work!

    I would make beef stroganoff. It is my go to recipe and a dish I can make gluten free if we have company with special needs.

    My oldest son loves Chicken Parmesan, he always requests it on his birthday. Whenever I make it he sings out the words from the Peyton Manning commercial…”Chicken Parm you taste so GOOD”. Another dish that’s popular in my house that I would make is homemade macaroni and cheese.

    That chicken parm looks just amazing!! I always blame my cookware for why I’m not more creative in the kitchen- I guess if I won this I’d really have no excuse!!

    April I loved your review of this cookware! You brought up some really interesting points that help me see the value of this set. If I win the skillet your chicken parmesan will definitely be going into it. So will lots of other yummy recipes! Love the stovetop to oven feature!

    I love to make home fires, and a pan like this would be ideal for that because of the large surface area and the lid. It would also be great for fried chicken for the same reason.

    I am not a very good cook, but my husband loves Italian food so I would try the Chicken Prmesan. It does look easy. Thanks for reviewing the cookware. I am also looking at cookware so your opinion is very timely. Thanks Donna.
    PS Your Mom rocks!

    Chicken Parmesan is one of my favorite meals and this one looks so good and easy to make. I love being able to use one pan when a recipe requires using the stove then the oven – one less pan to wash. I’d definitely make this recipe as well as a spicy chicken thigh recipe I make often. I don’t have the recipe handy and have to google it each time I make it, but it’s full of spices that you heat on the stove and it makes the house smell so fragrant.

      The spicy chicken thighs sound good! I love that these pans are oven safe, too – makes life easier 🙂

    I just started shopping around for a new cooking set! I love this Wolf Gourmet set! I’d make your SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN PASTA recipe, because it’s on my list for a long time, and EASY SKILLET CHICKEN PARMESAN, because that’s my husband’s favorite!
