Ok guys, are you ready for a super easy dinner?! 🙂 This Skillet Parmesan Chicken can be made under 15 minutes! (insert lots of clapping and me doing the happy dance) 😛
Make sure you have a skillet that can be used in the oven. I’ve been experimenting more and more using my cast iron skillet. I absolutely love it!
When I went Gluten Free almost 2 years ago, I thought my days of using breadcrumbs to coat chicken or fish were over. So I was at my local grocery store the other day and I came across some Italian breadcrumbs that were Gluten Free! These have probably been around for a while and you guys probably are already aware that stores sell these. Honestly I have never really bothered looking at the breadcrumb section of the store because I figured since I went Gluten Free why bother looking. Ugh! Silly me. Ok lesson learned. 🙂
So now I’m utterly happy I can make lots of things with Gluten Free breadcrumbs!
I had never made Parmesan Chicken before. I’ve only ordered it in restaurants. So this was a fun little cooking experiment for me. 🙂
This recipe was super easy to make. I already had a jar of Marinara Sauce in my fridge, so I just added it to a pot and heated it up on the stove top while the chicken was cooking.
Oh and I also discovered another new item at the grocery store…Quinoa spaghetti noodles. My grocery trip was full of new finds, I love it! You guys are probably laughing right now, because once again you probably knew Quinoa noodles existed. 😛
The noodles took the same amount of time to cook as the chicken, so super easy to whip everything up for a quick dinner!
