Quick was the focus of the evening, after a few errands it was after 6 by the time I got home and I was hungry! I searched in the fridge and found a package of chicken breasts, basil that was on its last leg, mozzarella, and some tomato sauce and even better I found panko crumbs in the fridge. I pulled together my version of a healthier Chicken Parmesan.
I figured a few extra veggies are always needed so I munched on a salad of mixed greens with carrots, tomatoes and broccoli topped with a bit of light Caesar dressing.
