From a Korean Sandwich to a Chinese-Italian Hybrid, Chicken Parm Goes Glam

Chicken Parmesan is one of the tentpoles of Italian-American fare. While beloved in its classic form, its simplicity—a breaded and fried chicken cutlet topped with tomato sauce and gooey melted cheese—means that it’s rife for reinterpretation. Chefs around the country are swapping in shrimp, stuffing the sauce and cheese inside the chicken, and finding other ways to give this traditional dish a fresh take.
