along with the many italian versions, different kinds of parmigiana have been developed across the world, most often in countries where large numbers of italians immigrated. examples of dishes developed outside of italy from the early parmigianas include veal (veal parmigiana) or chicken breast (chicken parmigiana) dipped in beaten eggs, breaded, shallow-fried and topped with a marinara sauce (red sicilian tomato sauce) and mozzarella. it is then usually baked until the cheese is bubbly and brown. the veal dish is known in italian as "cotolette alla bolognese".
