This Easy Chicken Parmesan Skillet Recipe is the perfect quick dinner! Fast and filling dinners are a must in my house, and if it is one skillet or one pan meal even better. Chicken parmesan is a meal that my whole family loves, and this is so easy to make you won’t regret trying it!
This dish is so easy to make we have made it while traveling in a hotel kitchen, and Kylie also did most of the work for that dinner! It’s one of my favorite ways to save when traveling. We didn’t want to deal with a crowded restaurant on a Friday night so it was perfect!
When we travel, I try to filter hotels for the kitchen aspect or even a partial kitchen on the booking site, Expedia is one of my favorites. Even without a kitchen in the room, we often take a crockpot with us, but this one had the stove burners and kitchenware we could get at the front desk.
Easy Chicken Parmesan Skillet Ingredients:
- Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts

How To Make Chicken Parmesan Skillet:
A couple of hours before we left home, I poured some olive oil into a container and added minced garlic to flavor it. Â
The first step is to cut your chicken into cubed pieces.
Next, in your fry pan, warm up your desired amount of oil and dressing in your pan at medium-high.
Once the oil is warm, cook your diced chicken in the oil and dressing until it is fully cooked.
Once your chicken is cooked, pour your jar of sauce into the pan with the chicken.
Next, pour the box of pasta into the pan.
Fill your empty pasta jar with water, then slowly pour it into the pan.
Stir everything together, be sure to stir slowly and carefully as the pan is full.
Bring the pan to a boil.
Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to allow it to simmer.
Allow to cook for about 15 minutes covered; we checked ours every 5 minutes.
When the pasta is tender, cover it with mozzarella and let the meal cook for a couple more minutes until the cheese is melted.
Top with more cheese and parmesan cheese if you want.
Enjoy!!

How To Store Leftover Skillet Chicken Parmesan
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days in an air-tight container.
Storing leftovers properly requires the right tools! My preferred storage method is if the leftovers can be sealed in a food saver. If not, then an air-tight container or Ziploc bag for the fridge is the way I go. The airtight container or a freezer Ziploc bag are the next best bet for freezing the leftovers. I also use a food scale to measure portions into serving sizes.
What to Serve With Chicken Parmesan Skillet:
- Oven Roasted Potatoes
- Garlic Bread
- Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
- Caesar Salad
- Loaded Mashed Potatoes
- Grilled Corn On The Cob
- Tomato Caprese
- Oven Roasted Acorn Squash

Yummy! Your chicken recipe looks and sounds amazing! I am all about easy recipes that I can quickly make for my family.
That sounds like a meal that my family would really like. I make a lot of Italian food because they like it the most, so this will really go over.
I’m going to have to try this on one of our busy nights. It looks so good and my kids love chicken and pasta.
This is one of my favorite quick meals to make during the week. So little ingredients but so much flavor.
That looks delish! I love almost any combination of chicken and pasta…and cheese, of course!
Easy dinners are all that happen around here! I love that you can make filling and fabulous meals wherever you are. Your chicken skillet sounds perfect for a family on the move.
Yum, we love chicken parmesan. I always try to get a room with a kitchenette when traveling with the family. Such a $$ saver!
