As Dizwendy said, it is time consuming and messy to prepare, but worth a try. This is the first dish I tried making all by my lonesome (I'm in college; my summer project is learning how to cook REAL food). I used chicken thighs because I had them already (tough but do-able). It turned out great! Awesome recipe!

Excellent recipe! It was a little time consuming and messy to prepare, though. I have yet to find a quick, easy chicken parmigiana recipe. This one had a great flavor and stayed nice and crunchy in the broiler. Definitely a keeper for weekend meals or special occassions when I have extra time to cook and clean up.

Hi there. I finally decided to give a little "how do ya do" about me. I am a new mum...well she's almost a year now and she is the love of my life. I love her a bunch.
I love the zaar. My fave cookbook is probably Bakers Best Chocolate cookbook, uma casa portuguesa, and Pillsburys complete cookbook. I love all things caramel...so if you have something with it, post it.
