If you are looking for the best chicken parmigiana in New Jersey, I think I have found it at a small, family-owned restaurant in Ocean County.

New Jersey’s Best Chicken Parmigiana

Chicken parmigiana is a meal that is held sacred by many residents of New Jersey. Some people say that if you want to know if an Italian restaurant is good, just try the chicken parm.

I am 100% behind that idea, much the same as if you want to know how good a pizza place is, you have to try a plain slice.
