Baked Chicken Parmesan
Recipe originally from Gimme Delicious. Frying chicken is kinda stressful, and I often mess it up. It always comes out too oily or watery. This recipe doesn't have those problems, it's pretty good. The recipe calls for 1 tsp of salt, but I think that's a bit much (and I like salt). Maybe 1/2 a tsp is right.
