Crispy, Delicious Chicken Parmesan
Ian Palmer
Is there a more comforting chicken recipe for dinner? It's like having a plate of warm hugs.
This elegant chicken breast recipe is good enough to impress on date night, easy enough to make on a weeknight, and tasty enough the family might lick their plates.
Will the creamy chicken dish cause your partner to declare their undying love and/or immediately drop to one knee and propose? Who can say? But one thing is for sure: if you make this dish, they'll definitely feel well-cared for.
Thighs are not only healthy, but they're delicious and a lot easier to make than breasts! Give this a try and the family will be asking you to make it again and again.
Fire up the grill to make this foil pack recipe. Not only can you eat it just about anywhere, but there's also no dish-washing needed for this dinner. Now that's a winner!
This hearty soup will keep you full long after you've savored the final spoonful. The addition of crisp bacon is a delicious addition to the classic meat and potatoes combo.
This baked version of the fried comfort food classic offers all the crunch you want thanks to flaky cereal. But it's so tasty that it's sure to become a new family favorite!
