Scarlett’s Famous Chicken Parmesan Recipe

This chicken parmesan recipe takes just like a restaurant but is way cheaper and takes about the same amount to time you would wait to be seated at a restaurant!

I recently got back from a trip to Italy. I enjoyed Italian food all day for over a week! I came home and knew that I needed to actually post this recipe that has been in the works for awhile now. I have made different variations of it but have never found the perfect combination until now! So here it is! I am so passionate about making recipes that taste amazing and the whole family can enjoy – this one definitely fits the bill!
