This is a classic Italian meal, as you can tell by the lack of amounts of ingredients. This is one of those meals you just have to add a pinch or palm full ect… of the ingredients. It is just up to you how much of each you want to add. You do want to add quite a bit of Parmesan cheese, like almost the same amount of both the bread crumbs and cheese.
This is my husband’s ultimate favorite thing to eat. This is basically the recipe that his mom gave me, but she uses eggs instead of milk and does not use the flour. John really likes it either way, I just had to put my own twist on it, southern fried chicken style. It is really the best baked in the oven, even though you could finish it on the stove top.

Some people eat this with sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pasta- a la Chicken Parmesan style, or any way you like (we eat it with Mac & Cheese usually).
