Parmigiana di Pollo (Chicken Parmesan)

Chicken Parmesan Recipe

This recipe was a family favorite while I was growing up!   I served it to my husband Cy along with friends Karie and Steve one evening, and it was great!  They loved it!  And I love when I spend the time creating dishes , to hear lots of Ummm’s!  And I’m so full I have to take a walk.  It’s a sign you did well!  Thanks Karie and Steve it was fun!
