Cheesy Chicken Parmigiana
“My husband used to order chicken parmigiana at restaurants for years. I found this cheesy chicken parmesan recipe in our local newspaper, adjusted it for two and began making this at home. After 50 years of marriage, I still enjoy making his favourite recipes.” —Lola Butler, Sun City, California
