This is one of the iconic Italian dishes. Ask anyone to name 3
Italian dishes and the probable answer will be Spaghetti and Meatballs,
Lasagna and Veal Parmesan. This dish is also easily made with chicken
breast. There is nothing like cutting into a piece of Veal Parmesan and
having strings of melted mozzarella cheese stretching from the plate
to your fork.
