BAKED CHICKEN PARMESAN - Guide Recipe
A lighter version of the traditional chicken parmesan that’s baked to absolute crisp perfection!
I don’t know about you guys but I tend to skimp on dinner. “Skimping” meaning I stick to Special K-type cereal dinners. I just get so exhausted when I come home from work , I can barely lift the cereal box out of the cabinet and pour it into a bowl.

That’s why I’m so glad I found this recipe. It’s easy , simple , so comforting and also perfect for work leftovers. All you have to do is dredge the chicken in a simple breadcrumb mixture , bake it for 25 minutes or so and then serve it with spaghetti and marinara. How simple is that?! This recipe has seriously saved me from so many cereal dinners. I need to stock up on some chicken breasts so I can make this again throughout the week!
