Introduction
When chicken Parmigiana is pan-fried, coated in tomato-basil sauce, topped with melted, golden cheese, and then breaded, it becomes an instant smash. However, stars require a solid supporting cast.
A side dish has the power to improve or ruin a meal if it must balance out the richness or add to the variety of flavours. These savoury and delicious sides for parmigiana add new twists to an existing classic dish, such as pastas with a twist or surprising greens.

- Hard tomato and basil marinara
- Parmesan and melted mozzarella cheese

7 Delicious Sides For Parmigiana That Steal The Show
1. Linguine With Garlic Butter And Fresh Herbs
Pasta would be a traditional complement, but this one is about charm and simplicity and doesn’t have marinara sauce. Let your mind picture linguine sautéed in roasted garlic butter, some fresh parsley and some lemon zest. It does not overwhelm Chicken Parm, but adds richness to it.
Tip:
Use whatever fresh herbs you have on hand and let the garlic butter do the heavy lifting; don’t overthink it.
2. Grilled Broccolini And Lemon, And Chilli Flakes
Wish to chop out the debauchery of Chicken Parm? Taste this spiced broccolini on the grill. Marination through charring provides a smoky intensity, lemon juice and chilli flakes add some contrast as well as spice.
Tip:
Broccolini will provide the vitamins and fibre that are perfect for a balanced, guilt-free meal.
3. Aioli Dip With Parmesan Polenta Fries
These are not the ordinary fries. Seriously soft on the inside and golden, crunchy on the outside, these Parmesan-studded polenta fries are a fantastic, gluten-free alternative to regular fries, and go so well with the textures of Chicken Parmigiana.
Tip:
A contemporary Italian bend that is gluttonous yet classy.
4. Arugula And Pear Salad Glazed With Balsamic Sauce
Garnished with shredded Parmesan, toasted walnuts, and thinly chopped pears, this salad is a gorgeous, elegant treat that comes with a hot rocket drizzled with balsamic vinegar. The diverse flavour of the chicken parm is counterbalanced by the salad.
Tip:
Add broken blue cheese or caramelised pecans for a pop of colour.
5. Brussels Sprouts In Garlic Bath
The Brussels sprouts are not always a people’s favourite, but they beg to differ in this case. Roasted, crunchy, and tossed in garlic oil, sea salt and a dash of balsamic vinegar, they provide a tasty, earthy crunch that stands its ground with the main meal. Top it up with a nice sprinkle of anchovies or pancetta.
Tip:
Sprouts contain umami flavour, which complements the tomato basil mixture.
6. Ricotta Packed Zucchini Boats
A soft and airy ricotta-lemon mixture is packed with freshly cut, half-roasted zucchini, then covered with breadcrumbs and cooked till golden brown. They are creamy and contrasting without adding any heaviness to the boats.
Tip:
Sought-after during the zucchini’s prime growing season in the spring and summer.
7. Sundried Tomato And Olive Farro Salad
Chewy farro is chewed with sundried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, red onion and crumbled feta with a vinaigrette with herbs. This is a big and spicy salad, inspired by the Mediterranean, with enough guts to serve as a side dish, but even as the second lead.
Tip:
The nuttiness holds up to the glut-glut of Chicken Parmigiana and supplies chew as well as depth.
Why Delicious Sides For Parmigiana Matter?
Complement, Don’t Compete
Chicken Parmigiana is already an active meal: crunchy, with gravy, with cheese, cosy. Good sides not only taste good but also showcase, accentuate, and harmonise any part of the meal. The perfect complement makes a good meal great, whether it is a fresh salad to add to the fat or some buttery starch slurping up the sauce.
Textures, Tastes & temperatures
- Texture: Soft texture and hard texture should be balanced
- Temperatures: Hot chicken and a cool salad mean a partnership
- Flavour: Match bold and bold, light and rich
