Easy Chicken Parmesan: Moist and juicy chicken breasts coasted in breadcrumbs, mixed with Italian seasonings; then topped with diced tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and fresh mozzarella.

Let's talk about Valentine's Day today, my friends. Are you the type who loves to create a delicious home-cooked meal for or with your loved one? Or would you rather go out and hope to find a reservation at a restaurant?

Ever since my husband and I have been together, we have always created a romantic dinner at home. Some years I make it and others we make it together. Trying to find a restaurant where we live is a nightmare, way too populated and everyone seems to go out. The prices are also a deal breaker for us. You can create a beautiful meal at home for a fraction of the cost; even with the same quality meats, appetizers, and cocktails.

That's where this easy and delicious chicken Parmesan recipe comes into play! If you are thinking about your plans for Valentine's, I highly suggest you trying this recipe at home. You can eliminate the stress of finding a reservation and enjoy each other's company at home in a quiet and romantic environment.

Chicken Parmesan is typically an easy dish to make, but this version is much easier. Instead of making the tomato sauce to top on the chicken breasts, we used Hunt's Diced tomatoes in a rosemary and oregano flavor. We always seem to have plenty of canned tomatoes in our pantry. Already flavored diced tomatoes are perfect and helps to cut the kitchen time down a little bit, so you can enjoy each other's company more.

Another delicious shortcut we took is by purchasing Alexia Artisan Focaccia Bread Rolls coated in asiago and Romano cheese, which are a great option because they are a line of premium all-natural breads. Did I mention how tasty they are? Not only can you find the Alexia Artisan Focaccia Rolls we used, but there are so many more options! 

There really is no better gift than creating a delicious home-cooked meal for or with your loved one.
