One of my goals for 2026 is to sort through all the recipes I have laying around tucked into folders and notebooks as well as my gigantic Pinterest/food blog collection that hasn't been touched in years. I've been having quite a good time with it. I enjoy cooking but it can become a chore pretty easily and this has made it a lot more fun for me as I feel like I'm working on a project. Around here we've taken to calling it Recipe Thunderdome as all recipes have to be auditioned before earning their place in the final recipe binder.
*For context I'm a reasonably capable home cook but one who is often trying to multitask and who is pretty much completely self-taught. *
Today I'm Sharing: Easy Chicken Parmesan from Dinner Then Dessert
Changes: I used finely ground cracker crumbs because I forgot to buy panko but other than I followed the recipe as stated. I also had to do the pan cooking in two batches so I ended up having to replace the oil.
Thoughts on Recipe Difficulty: This was pretty easy. The two step cooking method worked pretty well and this came together very easily.
Cook Time: 45 minutes or so - 18 minutes in the oven, 10 minutes or so total to get the crispy crust on the chicken, and 5 to 10 minutes to prep the food
Served With: Spaghetti and garlic bread. I also would have served it with salad but I'm a little paranoid right now.
Results: This was really good! The crust was pretty close to fried and it came together really well. My oven runs a little hot so the cheese was a little more done than I would have liked. Next time I'll probably take it out a little earlier or cover it with some foil for the last few minutes.
Verdict: Survived - and this wins the Chicken Parmesan head to head.
