Notes

You can combine the chicken seasonings (paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, ground thyme, and Himalayan salt) before seasoning your chicken breast. This makes the process a lot easier.

Thirty seconds or less in the broiler is all you need to melt the cheese.

Place additional sauce on spaghetti or your favorite pasta and serve alongside the chicken parmesan.
