Expand your gluten free dinner menu with this delicious Gluten Free Chicken Parmigiana recipe. For the bread crumb coating, we prefer to start with plain GF breadcrumbs and enhance with our favourite flavours.
Using a very simple, classic Italian-American tomato sauce that has a bright and tomato-y flavour that cuts through the richness of the chicken and pasta makes this a must have.

Recipe Tips & Notes
Commonly a great pub favourite and we were excited to finally get it to work gluten free! Pollo alla parmigiana in Italian, but affectionately referred by Aussies as Parma, Parmi, you’ll love this gluten free dinner recipe with extra crispy schnitzel, best ever parmigiana and juicy marinated chicken.
How to Crumb GF Chicken Parmigiana
Getting a good crumb on your chicken is easier than you think. First, select your favourite gluten free bread crumb. 4C Foods Gluten Free Plain Crumbs Canister is a popular choice for many!
In three separate bowls setup your flour mixture, egg mixture and breadcrumbs. Take each individual chicken piece through each bowl, starting with flour, then egg and then GF bread crumbs. Do this several times to increase layers. Bake or fry once you’re happy with your crumb texture.
This was delicious. Recommended to everyone to try!

This recipe is absolutely delicious and definitely right up there with the best restaurant quality presentations (if not better!!!). My husband was enthralled! This will positively be the next dinner I prepare when entertaining guests and/or family!
Turned out better than expected. Instead of bread crumbs I used pörq Italian herb panko crumbs. I also used the air fryer instead of deep frying.
Best recipe I’ve found! My family loves it! The breading is perfect!
