CHICKEN PARMESAN ROLL-UPS
Every night as I crawl into bed I either verbally or mentally utter the words, “I…love…my…bed.”
I do. It’s a little piece of heaven. It’s big enough that we can both sleep in an ‘X’ shape without running into each other or we can meet in the middle to snuggle if we want.
Add just washed sheets dried with two Bounce dryer sheets to the equation and we have reached one of life’s greatest pleasures.
One of our first purchases when we moved to Florida was a mattress, purely out of necessity so that we weren’t sleeping on the floor. We got a mattress on clearance and it was fine but nothing spectacular.
We found out that after a month or so our bodies had created two valleys in the pillow top with a big mountain in the middle.
The catch about beds is that you don’t really know how you’ll like them until you’ve spent the night sleeping in it and by then you’re a little committed to the purchase.
A while later our friends happened to be moving and didn’t want to haul their brand new bed across the country so we inherited their super nice bed and put it in our guest bedroom.
From then on, every guest that stayed with us kept gushing about how amazing the bed was.
I didn’t know if they were being polite or if any bed felt great after a long flight to the east coast. We finally felt like we were missing out on something so we switched out our own bed for the guest bed to see what all of the fuss was about.
It was fabulous. Every time we go on vacation we come back and worship our own bed. Don’t ask me what brand it is because I can’t lift it to see (I tried).
Here’s a another piece of heaven all rolled up into these Chicken Parmesan Roll-ups. We make this Easy Baked Chicken Parmesan at least once a week. This version is a little more flavor intensified!
You can use chicken cutlets from your grocery store which are already thin flat pieces of meat or just cut a regular chicken breast lengthwise down the middle to create thin pieces of chicken.
These chicken breasts were from Costco and extremely thick so depending on the size you may need to pound them thinner even after cutting them in half.
The best part about this chicken is that instead of just having that flavorful cheese on top we’re going to roll it in the middle too.
Not hard at all.
Place them seamside down in a baking dish and top with your tomato mixture. I like that you use canned tomatoes here because I don’t always have fresh on hand.
You can also skip the tomatoes and use marinara sauce. My littles prefer the marinara sauce version but us adults like the tomato version.
Top with your panko breadcrumb mixture. This makes the dish.
If you’re breadcrumbs start to get too brown for your liking, cover the whole dish with foil for the remainder of the cooking time.
There’s nothing like biting into that crunchy topping!
