Parmesan Chicken Strips

I really enjoyed this recipe. To my surprise, it has a very nice parmesan cheese flavor. I find that parmesan can be a tricky ingredient. Either it is too mild, and you can’t taste, or it’s so over powering that it takes over the meal. As for this recipe, it’s just right. You can taste the parmesan, but the chicken shines through equally. The only drawback to this recipe is that it can be time consuming, so unless you have a few hours I wouldn’t suggest tackling it. At least for me I take chicken breast and cut it into tenders, which I find to take forever. It’s probably more that I just hate to do it, yet I am too cheap to buy them already cut… go figure? Never the less the recipe is excellent and one I will make again in the future. Thank you Susie for the great recipe.
