Chicken Parma
On my first day of work, our work “buddies” took us out for lunch at a local pub, and we were introduced to the Chicken Parma (short for chicken parmesan). Now, for those of you who don’t eat American Italian food, chicken parmesan is a breaded boneless chicken breast covered in marinara sauce with mozzarella cheese melted over the top, all nestled in a pile of spaghetti noodles (or some other pasta).
In Australia, it’s a little different. Still the breaded chicken, marinara and mozzarella. But there’s a little piece of ham to protect the chicken from the sauce. And it’s not pasta on the bottom, but french fries. Sounds strange to the uninitiated palate, I know. But it’s a staple here. A lot of restaurants serve it – so many that people are surprised when it isn’t on the menu. And, I have to admit, it was pretty good, and I would eat it again.
