Chicken Parmigiana

When it comes to comfort food, this recipe really hits the mark. My husband and kids loved it from the start! I think the marinara is especially important when going for a dish like this. So go for the San Marzano or something similar. Go as Authentic as possible! I have made my own marinara and you will not go wrong by choosing a San Marzano type sauce. Also keeping some Italian bread crumbs in your pantry is a must!
