Chicken Parmesan is a classic dinner for any occasion. Instead of frying my chicken breast, I prefer to bake it. I do this for two reasons. The first reason is that baking is a healthier choice than frying and it hardly makes any mess. The second reason is that you can have a lot of fun with bread crumbs. You can add any number of spices and seasonings to bread crumbs. I make a Panko breadcrumb mixture and add salt, fresh cracked black pepper, basil. red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, chopped mint, and others. Just season it however you like. I also like to put a little rosemary in with the noodles give the dish a distinct yet subtle flavor throughout. Don't forget to add some of the cooking water to your sauce! Jamie Oliver stands by it so we should too. The salad dressed with a light vinaigrette offers a tangy relief from the the chicken and pasta. I used more tomatoes from our friend Jay down at the garden and put a vine of his incredibly sweet candy tomatoes. This took me about 30 minutes including preparation to make.
