I normally buy already breaded fillets to make chicken parmigiana but decided to do it this way for a change. The dressing mix gives a lovely flavour to the coating & the corn meal is great, makes the chicken look amazing. I also added some sliced tomato on top of the sauce, I usually add ham too but didn't have any. This was lovely, DH & toddler DD gobbled this up, oh & me! Thanks Lainey!!
