Um. Chicken.
Yes.
Again.
But let's logically think about why I would be drawn to this recipe, shall we?
Oven fried=I love fried chicken, but don't love the calories, etc. Oven fried is a healthier alternative.
Parmesan=Italian. I'm in.
Chicken=duh.
So, yeah. This chicken is tasty. And pretty darn simple. A great idea for a weeknight dinner when you're super busy!
