Are you the type of person when going to a favorite restaurant orders the same thing or do you try something different every time you go? I am one of those creatures of habits and will order the same thing each time I go to a favorite restaurant. That’s why I want to go to that particular restaurant.
I’m like that when it comes to Noodles & Co. I order the same dish, Pasta Fresca (working on a copycat recipe for this) with Parmesan cheese and Parmesan Crusted Chicken. I love that chicken!! Every time I eat it I think I need to make a recipe for it.
This is a pretty darn close copycat. My crust on this chicken isn’t quite like theirs, but the seasonings are perfect. It was super, super easy to make. This will be perfect for a busy weeknight.
What’s your favorite dish at your favorite restaurant? Please share in the comments.
Enjoy!

- 4 to 5 chicken tenders
- olive oil
- ¼ cup plain bread crumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- Preheat a skillet on medium high heat.
- In a medium sized bowl, mix the bread crumbs, cheese, Italian seasonings and garlic powder. Set aside.
- Prep your chicken by lightly pounding each piece until fairly thin. Don't make it so thin that the chicken tears.
- Dredge the chicken tenders in the seasoning mix.
- Lay each chicken piece in the skillet. Leave the chicken in place for several minutes, this allows it to get a nice crisp crust.
- After about 4 minutes, flip the chicken and allow the other side to get crispy.
- Cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
This looks great! I’ve never heard of Noodles & Co but I just looked it up and there’s one right by my house. I will definitely have to go there now and then I can try making my own 🙂 Pinning!

This is a delicious looking recipe. I like simple chicken dishes.. This is that and more. Thanks for sharing,
I’ve never been to Noodles and Co but this look delish!
I may never eat at Noodles and COmpany, but this looks delicious!
Making it tonight! Excited. Thanks for sharing your knowledge to the world!
I seriously LOVE Noodles & Co. I wish we had one here. We eat lots of chicken in our house and I think this will make a great addition to our menu. YUM!! Can’t wait to try it. Pinning.
Thank you!! I made this tonight .. I love noodles and co and I always order the Alfredo Mont amore omg I love it!! I will have to pin my recipe!! I don’t know if they use a flattop grill or what but that chicken is sooo delicious!!
Noodle & Co. is my favorite restaurant, and their Parmesan Chicken is amazing on the Pesto Cavatappi. Whenever I go out on a limb to try something else, there other dishes are delicious but nothing is quite as perfect as Pesto Cavatappi with Parmesan Chicken!
I just made this. I had to change the italian spices since my mom and i have severe allergies. I like it. I kinda over cooked it a bit but other than thst its really good.
Couldn’t get the seasoning to stay on my chicken in the pan so I just had burnt bits of parmesan and breadcrumbs. I’ve never had this much of a failure cooking anything. Any idea why?
I definitely want to try this, I love that chicken as well and I was hoping I would find a copy cat recipe! Thank you!
I saw another but she coated the chicken in melted butter and then the seasoning coating. Might try both and I think I might try baking it instead of frying. If I remember, I will let you know how it turns out.
Thank you again for posting this! YUM
