I enjoy chicken and its diversity. Here are three really different recipes.
Chicken Parmesan casserole
4 chicken breasts, butterflied
1-1/2 C Panko breadcrumbs
1 C mozzarella
3 TBS parsley
1 C grated Parmesan
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 bunch of basil, freshly chopped
2-1/2 C marinara sauce
1-1/2 tsp. salt
pepper to taste
In an 8×8 baking dish, spread tomato sauce evenly on bottom, then layer of mozzarella and basil evenly on top. Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper to taste, then place evenly into pan over mozzarella.
In a bowl, mix Parmesan, parsley and oregano. Sprinkle evenly over chicken then bake at 375 degrees for one hour. Let cool for five minutes before serving.

Bake casserole in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until crescents are golden brown and casserole is bubbly. Remove from oven and allow to sit for about 5 to 10 minutes.
