Serving Chicken Parmesan with Spaghetti

I love the flavor of this yummy chicken. If you feel the same way, you are in the perfect place to explore a delightful recipe that will excite your palate.

Each bite offers a delightful contrast with the crispy chicken and gooey cheese harmoniously brought together by the rich flavors of a delicious tomato sauce.

Speaking of tradition, Chicken Parmesan has roots in Italian-American cuisine. Over time, this beloved dish gained widespread popularity across the United States and has become a staple in Italian-American restaurants.

As usual, Ramsay gives this classic his subtle twist, enhancing it in the best way. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and prepare to create a dish that will not only fill your belly but also warm your heart.

Equipment Required

  • Baking Dish: I use a 9 x 13-inch baking dish  for baking the chicken with the sauce and cheese
  • Frying Pan: I prefer a heavy-bottomed pan to fry the chicken easily.
  • Stockpot: I recommend using a stockpot to prepare the tomato sauce.
  • Knife: Using a sharp knife will help you chop the ingredients precisely.
  • Rolling Pin: I use a rolling pin to flatten the chicken meat, but you can also use a small cooking hammer.
  • Tong: Tongs are my go-to tool to flip the chicken effortlessly while frying.
  • Measuring Cups & Spoons: For consistent and accurate measurements, use these pieces of equipment.
  • Spatula: For an even toss of ingredients, I like to use a wooden spatula, though a silicone spatula can also be used, depending on your preference.

Top Tips

Expert Tips That I Recommend

  • I recommend adding extra seasoning to your panko breadcrumbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or a pinch of cayenne pepper, to give the crust a flavorful kick.
  • Before breading, marinate the chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and Italian seasoning to add extra flavor and juiciness.
  • I often combine freshly grated Parmesan cheese with some mozzarella for a cheesy pull. 
  • While preparing tomato sauce, I deglaze the pan with some white wine before adding the tomatoes for extra flavor.
  • Just before serving, I always squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken to brighten up the flavors and add a touch of acidity.
  • Along with pepper and salt, season the spaghetti with chili flakes and oregano for an extra spicy and herby flavor.
  • I often use a thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to the right temperature. 
  • I always keep some pasta water after draining it, as it can help adjust the consistency of the sauce if it becomes too thick.

How to make Gordon Ramsay Parmesan Chicken

Recipe Variations For Different Diets

  • Vegan or Vegetarian Diet: To make this dish suitable for vegetarians or vegans, I prefer altering the chicken to mushrooms or bell peppers. You must even alter the parmesan cheese to vegan parmesan cheese. You can use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and finally, consider altering the butter with a plant-based butter. 
  • Low-Fat Diet: When I make this dish for someone on a low-fat diet, I mostly replace butter with low-fat butter and milk with skimmed milk. Additionally, I recommend baking or air-frying the chicken instead of deep-frying it. 
  • Ketogenic Diet: To make this recipe suitable for people following a ketogenic diet, I recommend altering spaghetti into keto-based pasta, zucchini noodles, or spaghetti squash. You must also alter the flour to almond flour. 
  • Gluten-Free Diet: Instead of using all-purpose flour, I recommend using a gluten-free flour blend or almond flour. Then, this recipe becomes suitable for people who follow gluten-free diets. 

Storing And Reheating This Recipe

Storing

  • In the Refrigerator: I usually store my leftovers in the refrigerator. You can do the same by transferring the chicken and spaghetti to airtight containers and placing them in the refrigerator for a maximum of four days.
  • In the Freezer: I would even freeze this chicken, but it isn’t my preferred storage option. However, if you need to, I recommend packing the chicken and spaghetti in an airtight container and keeping them in the freezer. This may last up to one month. 

Reheating

  • In the Oven: I suggest preheating your oven to 350 F, transferring the chicken and spaghetti to a baking tray, adding a little butter and chicken broth, covering it with aluminum foil, and reheating it for about 10-15 minutes.
  • In the Microwave, I transfer the leftover chicken and spaghetti to a plate and microwave it for about 30 seconds, stirring it at intervals until it becomes hot.

What To Serve With This Recipe

Various recipes pair beautifully with this Chicken Parmesan. Topping the pasta with Meatball Gravy creates a delightful dinner option. Additionally, serving it alongside Focaccia or Garlic Bread makes for a classic Italian combination.

Bruschetta topped with tomatoes, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar is a popular accompaniment to this pasta. But for a contrasting tangy flavor, I recommend pairing your pasta with an Eggplant Salad.

You can enjoy this Chicken Parmesan alongside Grilled Tofu or even drizzle sliced Beef Stew over it. This combination offers a delightful blend of flavors and textures, ensuring culinary satisfaction.
