I love finding recipes that my entire family loves – particularly those members of my family who are typically picky eaters. I have to say, this chicken parmesan is perfect. Not only is it quick and easy to prepare – minus the cooking time – but everyone in my family loves it. I mean everyone, even my picky eater who normally won’t try new foods without a battle.

If you have one of those finicky eaters who just won’t try anything besides McDonald’s chicken nuggets and party pizzas, I really think you should give this recipe a try. It’s delicious and so much healthier than anything you can get at a fast food restaurant.

It only takes about 10 minutes to get this one ready to cook, which is a big part of why I love it. I can get it together in a snap and then do other things around the house while it cooks. Anything that saves me time in my day is a plus in my book and this one is definitely one of those recipes that saves me loads of time.

Plus, it lets me put a wholesome meal on the table in a snap and gives me time while it’s cooking to tackle homework and that massive mound of laundry that I’ve been putting off. It’s a lot like this baked chicken parmesan, which is also a real time saver, but this one makes chicken parmesan nuggets, so little ones may just prefer it over the traditional recipe.

Once you get it prepped, feel free to go about your busy afternoon while it cooks. I love recipes that give me extra time! I also think that this would be the perfect meal for those busy evenings or just anytime you want something delicious that is virtually hassle free. Plus, it would be perfect for dinner before you add these yummy chocolate chip cookies for dessert.

You won’t even have to bribe the kids to eat it before they get their cookies. I promise you they are going to love this!

If you’ve ever wanted a really easy chicken parmesan recipe, and one that is sure to please your little picky eaters, this is it. It’s fast and easy to prepare and gives you a delicious chicken nugget type meal that is so much more than anything you can get at McDonalds.
