Potato Parmesan Crusted Chicken

I’ve been having less than stellar results lately with many of the new recipes I’ve tried.  My most recent disappointment was a fish dish from a magazine that took me 2 1/2 hours(!!) to make.  After all that effort, it was just “meh.”  Next time I want fish topped with crawfish stuffing and herbed butter sauce, I’ll just head to Pappadeaux and save myself the trouble.

But finally, I have a good recipe to blog about!  It is actually more of a technique than a recipe and it comes from my mom who got it from the lady that does her hair.  Super yummy and super easy to prepare!  I served my chicken with green beans with bacon and a baguette, for a simple but delicious weeknight meal.
