This is a traditional Italian-American dish similar to my wife’s chicken riggi recipe with a notable exception. This recipe calls for whole chicken thighs and the skin is crispy. Definitely worth a try.

I been searching the web for a good chicken parmesan recipe to look and taste like olive garden and this recipe that i created myself comes close.

This is our take on chicken parmesan. It's not a classic, traditional recipe but it is delicious! We enjoy a combination of alfredo and marinara sauce for our recipe. The overall process is a little time consuming and involved...it takes a lot of multi-tasking...but it is so darn good. We usually save it for a weekend night when we have more time in the evenings. You may also have some marinara leftover (we usually do), but it can be refrigerated for another recipe in the next few days or it can be frozen.

It took me a while to get this recipe to my complete liking but I finally did. Always a hit with my family. Ask the kids to help!

I had these huge chicken breasts to cook but I find the big ones tend to be tough even after brining sooo....I split the whole breast then butterflied them. Still HUGE so I cut them through and beat the crap out of them. Easy but a little time consuming. In the end, perfectly fork tender though. I literally had to dig for ingredients. Been out of town so I used what I had. Sometimes I wow myself 😂

My daughter was told about this dish called Chicken Riggi and after looking into it this is our version. It originated as an italian American recipe in Utica New York. There are lots of different variations but it's a chicken and italian sausage dish in a spicy tomato broth touched with cream. Different vegetables and sometimes olives are added. It's always served with rigatoni pasta. We followed the basic recipe adjusting for our tastes. It is hearty and delicious!

Yum and quick for busy weeknights!

Picture is a variation using yellow and red peppers and 2 large chicken breast on the bone cut in three sections..

Tonight’s dinner Chicken Parmagiane I’ve wanted to make this favorite classic for a long time but I had to study on how to make it and I think it came out nice. Love the gooey cheese and usually it’s accompanied by spaghetti or linguini I just used any pasta I used penne rigatoni which works just as well

Who doesn't like chicken parmesan? This is delicious and easy!

The broth is sensational, even the picky kidlets love this soup!
