Nine years ago Melody made a commitment to become a fantastic chef in less than forty years– that’s about how long she thought it would take! During the first few months of her quest to culinary greatness she tried out this recipe for Parmesan Crusted Chicken from Donna Hay’s “New Food Fast.” Much to her surprise she produced a delicious, juicy, full-flavored dish! Melody suggests serving this dish with corn on the cob, grilled vegetables, green beans, or asparagus. Fresh veggies are always a great accompaniment to a light chicken dish.

Serving up dinners like this, I would say that Melody is already well on her way to becoming a fantastic chef! Chicken Parmesan has always been an Italian favorite, and Melody’s twist on this classic dish is light and fresh.
