Taste And See is one year old! Yayyy!! It’s been a busy year of developing new recipes, cooking, taste-testing, and documenting all of it right here for you to enjoy. Thanks so much for all your support! We’re honored that you continually choose to follow along on our journey and prepare our recipes!

We’re celebrating this special occasion with a new variation of one of our most popular recipes to date: Parmesan Crusted Chicken! It has been one of our favorite recipes so far, and if you’ve tasted this chicken, then I know you’re not surprised.

It is what so many of us want: easy, moist, flavorful, crowd-pleasing delicious baked chicken breasts. A go-to meal for an easy weeknight dinner or something you can serve for a special night with company. Quite simply it has it all. And now it has even more. How is that even possible? I’m so glad you asked.

Now it’s just as tasty, just as moist, just as tender but it’s in the form of a finger food! Say whaaa!?? I know, Christmas came early this year!

It’s the perfect appetizer to serve for your next game-day watch party, or for a fun family meal even the kiddos will love. Put it over some angel hair pasta and top it off with my semi-homemade marinara and you’ll have one yummy Italian feast.

Did I mention it was easy!?? You literally mix, dip and bake. (Not to be confused with the “bend and snap” – although another very effective method for swooning your significant other, it has nothing to do with this recipe. Sorry – I couldn’t help myself! )

The chicken comes out golden on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Every time.

The process is really simple and only requires a few ingredients.

You can use chicken tenders or chicken breasts for this recipe. Because I like to save a buck when I can, I used cut up chicken breasts to make my strips. Not only was it more cost effective it also meant I didn’t have to contend with the removing the tendon that becomes chewy and tough when cooked.

You MIX:

1. You mix your breadcrumbs, Parmesan, fresh parsley, salt and pepper in a shallow pie dish (or plate).

But wait, there’s more!

The Marinara! It’s so tasty and a breeze to whip up.

Marinara

While your chicken is getting all golden and delicious in the oven, you add grated onion, minced garlic, salt and pepper to a pot over medium-high heat. Mix in the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, parsley, more salt and pepper, and simmer for 20 minutes.
