One Pan Chicken Parm
This dish has really clean flavors - the fire roasted tomatoes and hit of fresh basil really stand out.
Take an extra 5 to pound your chicken breasts. A lot of people skip this step and miss out on what it adds to the dish. Use either a meat tenderizer or a rolling pin. When chicken is pounded to an even thickness it will not only cook evenly and quicker it will be much more moist & tender. Try it!!
Pro-Tip: Use provolone instead of the usual mozzarella to add another layer of smokiness. Yum.
