📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Chicken parmigiana (known as a 'parma' or 'parmi') grew out of Italian immigrant cooking and is a staple of Australian pub menus. A chicken breast schnitzel is topped with tomato sauce, ham, and mozzarella and baked, then served with chips and salad. It's so beloved that many pubs hold a weekly 'parma night.'

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a Wednesday parma night, a schnitzel hanging off the plate and a pint of beer sit on a table in a Melbourne pub.
