chicken parm
Italian-American comfort food
Chicken parm is short for chicken parmigiana—a breaded chicken cutlet topped with tomato sauce and melted cheese, typically mozzarella and Parmesan.
It's a staple of Italian-American cuisine, often served over pasta or as a sandwich: I'll have the chicken parm with a side of spaghetti.
The dish has no direct Italian origin despite the name.
