This may sound like a silly, novice cooking question (and that's what I feel like sometimes!) but can you use prepared parmesean as well rather than grating fresh parm.?

As a mother of 2 year old twins who are hanging over me the entire time that I am trying to cook, I am always looking for speed and convenience!

Thanks,

I don't see why you couldn't use prepared parm... Just be careful to read the labels. Make sure they aren't sneaking in extra carbs as fillers.

Alright then! That's what I am cooking tonight for supper! I can't wait!!

mommyto3...I find another quick way to make parmesan chicken is to mix mayo, prepared paremesan cheese and pepper to taste. spread it on boneless skinless chicken breast and bake. Sorry I don't have exact measures and oven temps. I usually wing it

Thanks Allikins! That sounds good too. I'm all about experimenting! lol

We just finished supper a little while ago. I used the thread recipe and I loved it. DS didn't want me to make one for him (he's a REALLY picky eater). I did have him try a bite of mine and he LOVED it. He asked for more! Next time, he will definitely ask me to cook one for him as well!

That is TRULY a thumbs up!

yummy! if you haven't tried this one, you should try it for your next dinner! couldn't have been easier! and was it ever yummy! i also grated just a little extra parmesan cheese on top before i baked them! wonderful!

Parmesian cheese is a great "breading". I will try this recipe tomorrow night. I also use Parm as a breading with chicken thighs... sort of a shake and bake. I add garlic powder, season salt and italian seasoning. Just dredge the pieces and put on a rack in the oven. It is even better than any breading I have ever used.
I used parmesian as the "breading" the other day in meat balls and I liked it better than pork rinds or low carb bread.

I tried this and its WONDERFUL! Thanks so much for the recipe!!!

When I was growing up, my mother always put grated parm in with the flour when she made chicken parm....it's going to be really nummy with just the parm!!

Mom also used to make "chicken fried steak" with the same general concept, just using steak instead of chicken. (and you can get away with using cheaper cuts of steak for this too) I think that would be pretty good with the parm breading too!

Just my $0.02!
