This is the story about this recipe. I kept seeing it pop up all over the place and I couldn’t imagine that there was a recipe so good that everyone would be drooling, but there is! I was so surprised how easy it was, and most of the ingredients I already had in my kitchen. Win! Win!

TIPS AND TRICKS

• CHICKEN: I kept the chicken breasts whole but you can cut them into cutlets for more servings and less cooking time.
• SUN DRIED TOMATOES: If you want a little more flavor, add a little bit of the oil form the tomatoes into the dish. Yum!
• PARMESAN CHEESE: If you already have a bag of Parmesan cheese, use it. For more flavor, buy a block of Parmesan cheese and grate your own. The flavor will go up a notch.
• COOKING TIME: Serve immediately as soon as the internal temperature is at 165F. If you need a minute before you serve the chicken, place the chicken into a baking pan, in a 300 degree oven until your ready.
• LEFTOVERS: Store the leftover chicken, if you have any, in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. You can reheat the chicken in the microwave.
