This copycat Tony’s Town Square Restaurant Chicken Parmesan recipe brings a little Magic Kingdom comfort food right to your kitchen. Inspired by the cozy Italian-American flavors served on Main Street, U.S.A., this recipe features crispy breaded chicken baked with marinara sauce, melty mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Served over a plate of spaghetti, it’s a hearty, family-friendly dinner that feels just as nostalgic and satisfying as a meal at Tony’s after a day in the park.
Cooking Tips
For the best texture, pound the chicken evenly and avoid over-saucing the breaded cutlets before baking. You can pound the chicken breasts using a meat tenderizer. I have the KitchenAid Gourmet Multi-Sided Meat Tenderizer. A thin layer of sauce keeps the breading from turning soggy while still giving you that classic Tony’s Town Square-style baked marinara and mozzarella finish.

Tony’s Town Square Restaurant Chicken Parmesan Recipe
Description
Tony's Town Square Restaurant Chicken Parmesan is an iconic Disney food that makes a perfect dinner.
Ingredients
Chicken
Spaghetti
Instructions
Chicken
-
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound them to an even thickness, about ½ inch thick. This helps them cook evenly and stay tender.
-
Add flour to one shallow bowl. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
-
Coat each chicken breast in flour, dip it into the egg mixture, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture until well coated on both sides.
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked yet because it will finish in the oven.
-
Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in a baking dish. Add the browned chicken, spoon more marinara sauce over each piece, and top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
-
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F and the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a more golden top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
Spaghetti
-
While the chicken bakes, cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Warm the remaining marinara sauce in a saucepan on medium heat. Drain and toss the spaghetti with warm marinara sauce.
-
Plate the spaghetti, top with the baked chicken parmesan, and garnish with extra Parmesan and fresh basil or parsley.
