Chicken Parmesan

Written By: Chris - Mar• 19•12

Chicken Parmesan was on the brain after seeing it prepared quickly on a segment of the NBC morning TODAY show!  So I thought I would prepare it for the other night for dinner for Bill.  Instead of serving it over spaghetti, I sauteed some fresh spinach and served it with that!  I do have to learn to cook in smaller portions since it’s usually just the two of us, but my office staff was pleased with the fact that I had enough leftovers’ to share for lunch the next day for all of us dateien von wetransfer herunterladen!
