This Simple Ground Chicken Parmesan is loaded with flavor and incredibly easy to make. It can be on your table in under 20 minutes. A perfect weeknight meal for those crazy, busy days.

If you’re looking for a super fast and delicious dinner, then you’ve come to the right place. This simple ground chicken parmesan is a dinner that your whole family is going to love.

There really isn’t anything fancy-shmancy about this meal, but it still tastes amazing and checks all the boxes of a simple, fast, delicious dinner.

If you love classic chicken parmesan, then you’re going to love everything about this dish, especially it’s simplicity. Instead of breading and frying chicken breasts and then baking them in sauce, this dish is done in one skillet and no dipping, breading and/or frying is required. Ok, I guess technically you’ll use a second pan to boil the pasta in, but come on, it’s water in a pot. . . .easy peasy to clean!

I think my favorite part of this dish is all the melted cheese on top. Yes, I love cheese and you can never, ever have too much of it. Am I right?

SIMPLE LINEUP OF INGREDIENTS:

  • ground chicken
  • onion
  • garlic powder, salt, pepper
  • marinara sauce
  • parmesan cheese
  • mozzarella cheese

Serve this over any pasta . . . spaghetti, bow tie, penne, ziti or whatever your favorite kind is. Serve it along with some crusty bread and a green salad and you have yourself a pretty fantastic meal.

A couple quick tips . . .

  • If you want this to be more “saucy” then use less ground chicken. Maybe only 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds.
  • Use a good quality marinara sauce and one that you love.

Enjoy!
