☆ I tried chicken Parmesan recipes from Giada De Laurentiis, Alton Brown, and Ree Drummond, and the best one took 30 minutes
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-08 | by ( Meredith Schneider | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: 1 min

I liked all three recipes, but Drummond’s was the crowd-pleaser. Ree Drummond's recipe was everyone's favorite. It was everyone's favorite recipe, and the 16-minute prep time didn't hurt. Brown's sauce was my favorite of the group — even if it was my first time cooking with anchovies — and the texture of the breaded chicken was exactly what I was looking for. De Laurentiis' chicken Parmesan was my least favorite of the three, only because it didn't come with that heart-warming crunch that I've come to love from this meal.
