Now that the weather is cooling off, I seem to be craving all the carbs. I can never get enough pasta. I am still trying to find my Italian roots so I at least have a good excuse for inhaling massive amounts of spaghetti carbonara.
Chicken Parmesan is a classic, and I don’t think you can really ruin this dish. Also, does anyone else end up making pasta noodles for a family of ten? No? Just me? If you told my husband I was making spaghetti for dinner, he will immediately ask how many friends he should invite over. Yes, I am that bad.
Okay, back to this delicious recipe. Obviously, the biggest pain in the butt is dipping each chicken breast in flour, to eggs to breadcrumbs. But once you fry those babies up, it smells amazing!
I’ve made this recipe a few times and I decided to hold off on the sauce until the end. It always leaves the breaded chicken soggy, and nobody likes soggy chicken. Another lazy mom trick, grab the best jarred spaghetti sauce you love (This is our favorite) and heat that baby up in a sauce pot. Trust me, your family won’t know the difference.
So now that you’ve learned my trick and you’re officially starving over these photos, check out the recipe and let me know what you think! What are your classic meals?
