(You can see many more easy baked chicken recipes here! I also have a huge list of diced chicken recipes if you need some inspiration for another meal).

Delicious, Quick and Easy Chicken Parmesan.

What to serve with Baked Chicken Parmesan

There are so many great serving options for this dish!  You can go classic, or mix it up a little, but either way, I hope that your family will love it as much as mine.  Here are some of our favorite ways to serve Baked Chicken Parmesan.

  • Pasta and Marinara Sauce- This is our favorite way to serve this dish. Some of our favorite pastas to use are bowtie, ziti, and angel hair.
  • Salad- I love to serve this dish with a large side salad. My favorite salad is a Caesar salad. I would also recommend ranch or creamy Italian.
  • Garlic Bread– This bread is crazy delicious and bursting with flavor.
  • Mashed Potatoes- This may not be your traditional side dish but it goes really well with mashed potatoes. These garlic mashed potatoesare a perfect match for Baked Chicken Parmesan.
  • Roasted Vegetables– This is one of my favorite ways to eat vegetables. Some great choices for this recipe would be asparagus, broccoli, and cauliflower.
  • Sauteed Green Beans – These green beans are our favorite side dish and the kids eat every last bit in the pan.

If you have a great serving idea that I missed, please let me know in the comments. I would love to try it out next time I make this dish!

    We will be making this again and again! Such a simple week night option. We used panko because that’s what we had in our pantry. The extra crunch was nice. Served with zoodles! Delicious!
