Parmigiana has debated origins, possibly influenced by Sicilian dishes using eggplant, cheese, and tomato sauce. The use of breaded meat cutlets is a later adaptation, popularized in Italian-American cuisine in the 20th century. There's argument about where it originates, but the general agreement is Southern Italy.

Parmigiana offers a savory and rich flavor profile, combining the umami of meat, the acidity of tomato sauce, and the creamy, salty notes of melted cheese.
The flavors are derived from the breaded and fried (or baked) chicken or beef cutlet, the tangy tomato sauce (often containing herbs like basil and oregano), the creamy, melted mozzarella cheese, and the sharp, salty parmesan cheese. The breading adds texture and slight sweetness, while the frying or baking contributes to a crispy exterior.

Meat Preparation
Pound the chicken or beef to an even thickness for even cooking. Season generously with salt, pepper, and other desired spices before breading.
Breading Technique
Use a three-step breading process: flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs (Italian seasoned breadcrumbs are often preferred). Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the meat to ensure a good coating.
Tomato Sauce
Use a high-quality tomato sauce, either homemade or store-bought. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes to develop its flavor.
Cheese Selection
Use fresh mozzarella for its creamy texture and mild flavor. Grate parmesan cheese finely for even melting.
Baking vs. Frying
Frying provides a crispier crust, while baking is a healthier option. If baking, broil the dish briefly at the end to achieve a golden brown cheese topping.
