    If you know me, you know that I am a HUGE Chicken Parmesan fan. Anytime I go to an Italian restaurant, that is the one dish I always order.

    In fact, I base how good an Italian resaurant is….on how good their Chicken Parmesan is. Weird, right?!

    Some restaurants don’t have enough flavor to their breaded chicken, others use way too much sauce, and sometimes, restaurants bring the dish out and its quite watery. Picky me, I know!

    After scrolling through Pinterest one afternoon, I saw how many varieties of the classic dish there truly were. Deciding to change it up, I decided to use croutons in place of breaded chicken and before I knew it, dinner was ready to go and a HUGE success! My kids and hubby gave this two thumbs up!

    I typically serve roasted veggies and a bread with this and its a complete meal!

    Next meal plan, be sure to give this Chicken Parmesan Bake a try! Let me know what you think in the comments below and come connect with me on Instagram HERE!
