JANUARY 2026
RECIPE TO TRY
Classic Chicken Parmesan
Simple. Comforting. Always a crowd-pleaser.
January calls for meals that feel warm, familiar, and deeply satisfying — the kind of dishes that bring everyone to the table without a lot of fuss. This Chicken Parmesan does exactly that.
It’s crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, layered with rich marinara and melted mozzarella, and finished with just enough Parmesan to make every bite comforting without being heavy. No fancy ingredients. No complicated steps. Just a timeless classic that never disappoints.
Why We Love It
This is one of those meals that works just as well for a quiet weeknight as it does for a Sunday family dinner. The chicken stays juicy, the coating adds texture without overpowering, and the baked finish pulls everything together into something cozy and dependable — exactly what January cooking should be.
Ingredients
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Eggs
Panko or Italian-style breadcrumbs
Garlic powder
Oil for pan-searing
Marinara sauce
Shredded mozzarella cheese
How It Comes Together
The chicken is lightly breaded, quickly pan-seared for a golden crust, then baked with marinara and cheese until bubbly and perfectly cooked through. Serve it over hot spaghetti, alongside roasted vegetables, or with a simple salad and crusty bread.
This is comfort food in its truest form… familiar, filling, and worth making again.
If your New Year includes more home-cooked meals and fewer takeout boxes, this one’s a great place to start.
