Awesome! I usually shy away from making Chicken Parm because of the dipping and breading (Messy, messy, messy)and my daughter isn't fond of crusted stuff. This was very easy and very tasty. I used about 1 and 1/2 jars of marinara sauce because I served it over spaghetti. I also put a slice of fresh mozzarella on top of each chicken piece instead of shredded mozz (my preference). Definitely a keeper. Daughter is having a sleepover tonite and I am making it for the crew. -
Delicous... and your right I didn't miss the crust!

I have a passion for cooking simple, great tasting, nutritious and delicious food. I don't have time for anything that isn't fool-proof, I'm just a home cook that wants to make the most out of my weekly grocery budget in interesting yet quick ways! My recipes are not complex, but they are very tasty, tried and true! I'm a firm believer that not EVERYTHING has to be made from scratch for good tasting, satisfying food. You could call me the Queen of Semi-Homeade Food!
I grew up in Canada but have lived in Australia for 7 years and my tastes have changed, so has my cooking style...I'm open to new and different flavours.
